I counted 205 monarch butterflies roosting in a green ash and box elder trees in yard not far from large patches of goldenrod and blazing star growing in prairie gardens. There were several larger masses, but most rested in small groups of a few individuals. Trees in neighboring yards did not contain monarch.A MonarchWatch tagged male monarch was observed and photographed in this roost.
