repeat on last night's roosts....
wind was from the southeast most of the day.....plus, cold most of the morning (below 60)......so most monarchs did not leave.
enjoyed seeing them in the afternoon feeding on goldenrod (90%) and black eyed susans and liatris in the standing cedars sanctuary.
in the evening, there were quicker and larger clusters for roosting.......main roost probably numbered 200, but very hard to count.....wind was light out of the southeast and every roost i saw was on the northwest side of the tree.....probably saw 4 distinct roosts......and lots of areas i did not monitor so untold additional monarchs there.......wind and weather will determine how long they stay, as always......
