Roosting on sun side of trees out of strong wind

Editor's note: contacted observer for more details on this sighting

Observer's response: First observed 8/28/19 at around 8 AM. temps have been in mid to upper 50s at night. The trees are primarily linden and oak some with wild grape vines which seemed to be particulary attractive perhaps due to thier density. The monarchs were on the downwind side of a forrested area about 300 feet deep on the southeast shore of a lake ( West Battle) the wind has been continuous at aroun 30 mph fpr three days. I have walkedthe treeline for abouta quarter of amile and believe the 300 number was probably low for an estimate. Nearby nectar sources primarily wild aster goldenrod and thistle
