Number: 800

At 20:00 hrs tonight (Oct. 6) there were eight to nine hundred Monarchs on the roost.

During the day, the number of Monarchs was still four to five hundred (as there were last night, Oct. 5). The minimum temperature last night was 53 degrees and the temperature at this time is 71 degrees, wind calm. I was watching closely today (Oct. 6) and they were still coming in. I had about 100 on the grass in the front yard getting water and about 100 in the grass in the back yard getting water. This is a good estimate. There are also Monarchs constantly moving in the trees; have no idea how many during the day. It's always dry in this area and I've noticed over the years that Monarchs really like sprinklers. So, I'll keep the yard wet for the Monarchs.
