On 9-12-15 we started to notice monarch's coming through, one to two monarch's per 10 to 15 minutes. They were all landing on our zinnias and in the hay field that has a lot of red clover. That night (9/12) we noticed that they started roosting in our maple tree over a hundred of them. We are still seeing more coming in from the east daily and they have continued to roost every night at sunset in our tree as of 9-16-15. Each night the number of monarch's in our tree has increased. Tonight (9-16-15), there was over three hundred. We have taken video and pictures.

Editor's note: We've re-dated this report from 9/16 to 9/12, the night the roost formed.
