On the border of our land is an unused pasture that is solid golden rod flowers. I have watched 2-6 monarchs drift in from the north every minute. My guess is there may be thousands of monarchs on this 60 acres of flowers. At night they look for the highest-biggest trees to roost so they fly to my land with the largest trees closest to the flowers they feed on. It is the biggest southern migration I have seen since the 1990s.
