At dusk. The first noted roost was Oct 8 after a northerly front stalled at us. I am sure there's several roost sites close not reported. Every evening they are roosting in Texas ash trees fully leaved in house yards. We have had about 20 inches of rain in the last 2 months. Dry now.
Daily wind Oct 9-11is 5 from SE. Not much wind to be shielded from. Overnight temps 58F. Day high 85F. Monarchs seem to be waiting for north push. We are high desert with numerous blue sage and wildflowers.
