October 10th- Warm sunny day temps in the 70's with a gentle 6 mph NE wind. There were over 2000 monarchs I observed for 1 ½ hours. They were arriving well after sunset and many roosted on the golden rod compared to the usual pine trees. All looked very healthy. There is adequate food supplies in both the immediate and surrounding areas. Observed from 5:00 – 6:30. Monarchs were flying from east to west. Roosts that were formed were larger with 10-20 monarchs per roost.
