The sky was a solid mass of butterflies coming into my yard off the neighbouring alphalfa field. I raise monarchs, but haven't raised THIS Many. I cried it was so beautiful. I have about 10 roosts in the trees around my house. Poplar to maple and birch. Roosts of anywhere from 50 to 100 plus. There has to be at least 1000. More seem to come every night for the past 3 days. I tried to get photos although the video footage was the best way to capture it. This is one small roost out front my door. One of many.
