I saw several trees with branches full of Monarchs in the Carleton Arboretum at 9:15 am on September 2nd. I found out about the roost because someone in Northfield had photographed the butterflies on Thursday, August 31st. The attached photo was taken Saturday evening (September 2nd) at 7:30 pm by my friend. I will be checking back there often in the next few days! I still have about 40 Monarchs in chrysalis on my deck that I'll be tagging and releasing in the next week. It was an excellent year for me and "my" Monarchs! 

Editor's Note: We are dating this record as August 31, because the roost was present at least since that date.
