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

Roost formed September 13/19
6:00-6:30 pm

There were several roosts in two trees and lots of Monarchs too many to count on the large field that was planted in Goldenrod. This area is on the southside of Canatara Park and I had been at other parts of the park earlier that were loaded with monarchs on Goldenrod as well.

Nearby nectar: large field that was planted in Goldenrod

Overnight temps: Approx. 60f

Wind direction: I believe NW. The monarchs were somewhat shielded from the wind in this location

I returned to the area the next two mornings and numbers were down from what I had initially seen. People all over our city and county have been commenting on the large numbers of monarchs flying through the area. Many have mentioned that it’s unlike anything they have seen in close to 30 to 40 years.
