We have continued to observe 100+ Monarchs roosting in trees along the edge of our hayfield on Thurs Sept 17th and Fri Sept 18th. On both evenings the Monarchs congregated between 6.30 and 7.00pm in several groups of 10 to 20, positioned on east facing branches that would catch the early morning sun. They dispersed into the fields to feed on red clover at sunrise on both days.

The overnight low on Thurs night was 13c and on Friday night 18c. Both daytimes were sunny and warm (28c) with no wind.
