As the sun was setting, I watched as the monarchs began flying into our pine and maple trees. They settled in for the night in small groups scattered around among the trees. It was getting dark and it was hard to tell how many there were. The next morning I was up early. It was a warm 73 degrees as the sun came up. When I walked under the trees, the monarchs awoke and took flight. A beautiful way to start the day! I would estimate around 200 monarchs. I wasn't able to walk around the other side of the trees since there is corn planted there, so there could have been more. I will watch again this evening.
