A large roost in trees

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

A neighboring farmer had let a large part of a field "rest" and there was quite a bit of milkweed that was taking over and my sister had seen quite a few monarch this year. We estimate about 1500 monarchs, possibly as high as 2000. They've mostly moved on at this point (9/16/19), but there are still some late bloomers hanging out, just not clustered like before or else not as visibly clustered it's a dense hedgerow.
