Went out this afternoon around 4:00pm and saw monarchs starting to gather in our north and west shelter belts around our house. Temp was 77, dewpoint 69, pressure 30.03, wind SSE 13mph, 77% humidity and mostly cloudy.
Found multiple roosts around 8:00pm on our silver maples and chinese elm trees. They gathered this time on the west side of the trees. There was a quick rain shower at that time too. Temp was 76, dewpoint 67, pressure 30.01, wind SSE 10mph, 74% humidity and mostly cloudy. Roughly 115 monarchs roosting tonight, little less than the roosts I found on August 30th.
