We live in Parkhill, Ontario and hundreds if not thousands, of Monarch butterflies visited us last week for a few evenings. They were flying around everywhere early evening and by dusk our tree were covered in resting butterflies. The tree were located next to our clover fields. It was awesome to witness.

The biggest roost we saw was on the evening of September 9th, 2015. We have had smaller ones on and off for the week since than (9/17).
My husband planted clover all around our house and he says it is the best clover that has come up in decade. Also, there is wheat planted all around us too, and when my brother-in-law went into the field he said that there was a lot in there too.
