Editor's note: contacted observer for more details on this sighting
Spotted them Sept 13. I left the area around 5:40 pm on Friday. It seemed that more were arriving.
Guessed at the numbers, probably more. Several areas with them.
Night temps were in the mid to low 60s. Mid 70s during the day. The wind was south southwest I think. Rain predicted through the night. Winds changing to North around noon the next day.
Yes, they were protected, gathering low and under overhanging branches.
They were around lots of Golden Rod flowers. No other types seen.
I went back around 2pm the next day and they were gone. Saw a few individuals on the flowers and flying around.
