Monarch Fall Roost
Sightings report image

Date: 09/11/2019

Number: 200

There were hundreds of monarchs in the trees and flying around.

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

They were first spotted by friends around 9:00 am on 9/11/19. My family witnessed them there that evening about 6:30 pm.

My estimate is 200. There were clumps of them in several trees, that once we walked up they would fly about, so I don't have good pictures of them except a grouping of 5 or so.

There is a prairie plot and a couple of pollinator gardens on the property.

Temp was a low of 58 degrees.

I'm not positive of wind direction, but mostly north, northwest, northeast. The trees they were in were in between a building and a tree border, so they seemed shielded.
