Tonight (Sept.14), more than 200 migrating monarchs were reported from the Monarch Trail on the Milwaukee County Grounds, and the count was considered conservative. There were perhaps twice that many, but bugs were roosting in different trees than they have in previous years, and there was a lot of running around to try to get an accurate count before darkness set in.

September 15: This evening, many more migrant monarchs settled in to the roost trees along the Monarch Trail on the Milwaukee County than have been seen in many years – far more than last year, and at least equal to 2010, the last really good year. At about 6:30 p.m., they just rose up in clouds out of the meadows and headed for the trees.
