Number: 500

Checked the Monarch roost located in the pecan trees in my back yard at 18:30 (Oct. 5). There has been a dramatic increase in the numbers today; present count is about four or five hundred.

From Oct. 1st to 5th I was watching them during the day and reporting about 240 ; not much of an increase during that time. Then the evening of the 5th at 21:00 I checked so that could catch them in more or less one place. I was shocked to see at least 400 (conservative estimate).

There has been a light breeze with a max. temperature at about 85 degrees and a minimum temperature forecast to be about 59 degrees tonight. Looking good here.
