For nearly two weeks we have had many monarchs in our pine trees, apple trees, mullberry trees and rose of sharon bushes.
They fly around all day, then go back to the trees at night.

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


> Estimated arrival the week of August 18th

Simple count of a cluster and then counted the remaining clusters. I would guess that there are closer to a thousand.

No known nectar sources. The fields surrounding did remain unplanted this year, so unknown weeds may provide food source. Rose of Sharon, Apple trees, nut trees, pine trees are all around

Overnight temps remain in the 60s or 70s.

Varying winds. Most often SW. Monarchs have good cover
