Observed approximately 75 adult monarchs roosting on cottonwood trees at Washita National Wildlife Refuge. Staff mentioned seeing monarchs roosting here and the maintenance area adjacent to headquarters(~250m North of this location).

Cottonwoods form a ‘u’ that protects monarch from the wind. At 8am all monarchs were roosting on the interior of the ‘u’ facing West (i.e. towards setting sun).
