Number: 1000

They like the evergreens. They are roosting in my windbreak trees on my farm. Many groups of 50 or more. Are in the protected wind break. Sometimes on the evergreens, sometimes on the maples.

There is CRP 1/2 mile from me. The golden rod is in full bloom with a few wild flowers and sweet clover. I have bees that are working it.

Overnight lows have been around 50-55 degrees. Well protected from wind in any direction. We notice them mid afternoon and of course early morning.

Not sure on first roost date, but started within the last week.

Was searching the internet on Monarch migration and ran into your site. We have been planting a milk weed type plant around the house and they are loaded with caterpillars. The roost of 1000 was not all in one unit , it was multiple roosts of 50 or more around the farmstead.
