There are 100s of monarchs roosting in our trees. It's absolutely beautiful.

Date roost formed: around September 5th

Estimation method: They were in 5 of our maple trees; I counted about 50 on 1 branch of 1 tree (they were on multiple branches) and estimated from there.

Nearby nectar: I have a few flowers in my yard (dahlias, hostas, columbine, sedum)

Overnight temperatures: High 50s/Low 60s

Wind direction: Were the monarchs shielded from the wind in this location? I'm not sure about wind direction, but our maples outline our yard and they were on the branches facing into our yard. So yes, they were shielded.
