We had many more that stopped last year, but we've been watching hoping we'd see roosting again this year. Since tonight was such a beautiful night we were out sitting on our deck when we started to see Monarch's circling. We kept watching as they went to the same tree as last year. Since it is later it got dark shortly after I took this picture so will be anxious to see how many are there tomorrow morning.
September 19: I really don’t have an idea on the count on the whole tree. It was getting dark here already. I’ll try to watch tonight. We noticed the roost about 7:00 pm. We do live right on the edge of a small rural town so there are farm fields around us. The temperature was 52 overnight last night. Wind was from the south. Yes, this tree is between our house and our neighbors garage so sheltered a little. I have noticed them flying around the tree this afternoon, but we are having storms here.
