Number: 700

These were on my maple tree.

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

The roost was sighted 9/8/19. About 7:15pm.

I counted 1 branch of approx 50 +/-, some had more on them some had less and there were 14 branches I could see clearly. 50 x14=700. More up higher that I couldn't see good enough to count.

Yes lots of nector sources, waystation 20276.

It was 78ish degrees and very humid. Storms that night. This was in Conroy Iowa. 8 miles SE of Marengo and 8 miles north of williamsburg.

The wind was from the SE blowing NW and yes they were protected.

Not sure if they were there before the 8th. But they left the next day. Every day since then I have had 20 to 30 in the same tree on various sides depending on the wind.

All enjoying my asters, zinas and sedum.

Conroy, IA
