Monarch Mania continues

On a cold windy day with a westerly wind of 18 mph In 20 minutes from 6pm to 6:20 I spotted 200+. The majority were in large roosts tightly packed together. The temperature tonight is expected to go down to 47 degrees.

There is an abundance of ripe golden rod and other nectaring flowers. The challenge to the monarchs is the severe dip in temps expecting to come Wednesday night and Thursday night with temps down to 36-39 degrees.
