At sundown all except 2 were roosting on a single Arbor Vitae (cedar-like) tree. This group of 4 large old Arbor Vitae trees at the south end of the park is the same spot where we saw Monarchs landing to roost on a September evening in 2017, possibly even the same tree. This is the 3rd consecutive year that the large volume of Monarchs at Van Dorn Park in September has captured our attention. On the morning of Sep. 10, the south wind hadn't started blowing yet and there were 4-5 Monarchs constantly floating within view every direction for the entire length of the park, and many more resting on deciduous trees and bushes.
