Number: 50

I'm guessing close to 50 or more monarch are roosting in the trees in this alcove of our house. It's protected from the wind on 2 sides, and the trees offer added protection. They are juniper trees.

Last night - at about 5PM - I opened the door and about 30 monarchs fluttered up into the sky. I went back into the house as to not disturb them. When I came home that night, I counted about 20 'sleeping' in a near by tree on the other side of our driveway. I woke up at break of light this morning and counted about 30 more in a different tree. The monarchs are not sleeping clumped together. Rather they each find their own space on the branches of the tree. There may be more than 50, but I'm not certain.
