The morning (10/16) was cooler than we have had and cloudy with a north wind.I saw a few flying overhead around my house. I went to my boss' house where we have seen them before in his trees,and there they were! Roosting and flying around in his pecan and pine trees. There were too many to count! I took pictures with my digital camera and I am not sure how to get them on my laptop. It has been about 2 years I think since we saw them like this.

Our overnight temps have only been as low as the 50s so far and the wind was coming in from the north .The monarchs were on the opposite sides of the trees where the wind wasn't blowing on them as much. I finally figured out how to get the pictures to my laptop ,I think lol.

Editor’s note: Observer confirm 10/15 is the night the roost formed.
