I usually take a morning walk for my break at work. Today (10/01) I noticed about 27 monarchs at the Altus AFB, OK golf course. N34 39'35.4312 W99 17'8.556 It was 65 degrees, winds ESE 6 at 8:45-8:50.

While on my walk, I discovered some roosting on 2 trees. There were about 30 monarchs flying around the trees and I saw about 10 of them still roosting. I'm not sure if I disturbed them and that was why they were flying around or if they were leaving their roosts. The ones still roosting were on the south side of the trees and were protected by a dormitory. This was about 8:50 am. N34 39'.9672 W99 17'17.3364

Editor's note: We've dated this report to 9/30, the night the roost formed.
