Very exciting!! I observed from 1 pm until 7 pm with 5 - 6:30 being the peak time. It was a sunny day with a NNW wind @ 11 mph.Temps were in the mid 70's. It's been raining quite a bit and this was one of the best days. Most I have seen in 2018. I also released 11 monarchs that I found the Larva and put them in an enclosed area so they could form their Chrysalis. Amazing!!

Most roosts that I could see were small with 3-5 monarchs per area. The larger roosts were surrounded by poison ivy and I could not get close enough to see them. I could see the Monarchs flying around them trying to settle in.
