On a gorgeous sunny fall day with temps in the 60's and a gentle WNW wind I spotted 280 monarchs in 4 hours from 2:30 - 6:30. The monarchs looked very healthy and were busy feeding on golden rod which is still in abundance. Since I was here so late the majority of the monarchs stayed in roosts in the area overnight. Temps at night are mid 50's.
