While birding Loess Bluff (formerly Squaw Creek) National Wildlife Refuge, I located a small roost of monarchs on the east side of the refuge in a stand of silver maple and hackberry trees. There were at least 50 monarchs in the woods and I also witnessed another 20+ throughout the refuge.

I do not have a photo of the roosting butterflies because they were so dispersed within the 50-yard area. Here's a picture of monarchs on flowers in the refuge.
