Number: 600

I arrived at 11:33am Oct. 18 and stayed for 18 minutes mostly just counting the Monarchs. Again a conservative estimate. And again, I tried estimating roosting butterflies by 10's. I do have some video should it be needed of some of the roost(s). Please let me know if you would like it. This is certainly the largest number of Monarchs that I've ever seen in the state at any one time.

Editor's note: We've re-dated this report from 10/18 to 10/17, the night the roost formed.
