Im guessing at how many but there are hundreds out here.
Editor's note: contacted observer for more details on this sighting
They were here mon-tues (9/2-9/3).
My son and i tried to count them. The temps were 50's. One morning it was 52, thurs 56 at 6am. Im not sure of the wind direction but we have a little dense forest area in the back of our property. They are resting on maples, pines, and really seem to be drawn to the cedars. I have a variety of flowers planted by my house and we have wild clover, milkweed, and sunflowers. Buttercups are in full bloom as well in the area where they are roosting. We had kylee baumle come out and take a few pictures :) i attached my favorite of hers. They are here every year for about a week but this is my first year raising/releasing monarchs and swallowtails (pickle babies as my daughter calls them)
