Monarchs have been roosting in my yard every night since September 1.

Lots of nectaring going on Monday. Still predominantly nectaring on zinnias, tithonia, etc. Again today, noticed early roosting at 4 pm on north and west side of maples and walnuts at lowest point in yard. Easily startled at this time of day. Many still nectaring at this time.

Roosts set up on north and west sides of walnuts and maples in lowest point of yard. When I checked roosts on Tuesday, September 17 at 715 a.m. I located approximately 40. Temps were 65 and sunny.
