3rd roost night. 84 seen roosting in a combination of pine, maple, oak, bradford pear trees. light NW winds at 35 mph. 45 min walk around our 3.5 acre property counting singles. mexican sunflower, seedum, lantana food sources in bloom. total 3 night count is 204 so far. Note* a lot of those roosting are 1/3 size smaller than average. Upon flight this morning (9/19/19) the winds are light out of the south-east and the butterfly's are flying quite high and straight west when leaving. Perhaps using the tail wind to their advantage?
