My son and I saw about 30 to 40 Monarchs flying from North to South across the field behind us and over our house. A rain storm started to come and the Monarchs started to roost in a Cottonwood tree right next to our house. They stayed there all night (October 6th). I have just one picture. As they went up into the tree they would close their wings and it made it hard for my camera to catch them.

This is the only picture I was able to get. They were not landing on any of my flowers and the pictures of them flying  did not come out well enough to identify.  Some of my coworkers said they saw one or two yesterday but my son and I saw the most. It was very exciting since they don't usually come here to Colorado  Springs.
