I first saw the roost on Monday, October 12, 2015. Monarchs hanging around in the trees in the morning (10/13) and feeding during the day (10/13). The patches of Cowpen Sunflowers are covered with Adult Monarchs. Tagged 50 with Hillside Academy and Cullins Lake Pointe Elementary.

I saw the roost early in the morning (08:30 0n 10/13) and then they started to move around and feed. I tagged Monarchs from 09:30-11:15 and 3:00-4:45. I would say the overnight temperatures were in the low 60s.

We have had some North wind and the Monarchs were shielded from the wind by a large grove of Gum Bumelia trees. That particular area is ringed by a large patch of Cowpen Daiseys.
