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

Friday, September 20, overcast and rain in morning. Very humid. High temps upper 80s. Wind SE approximately 5-15. Sunny in afternoon. More rain possible overnight and Saturday.

Lots of nectaring going on Friday afternoon. Still predominantly nectaring on zinnias, tithonia, etc. Again today, noticed early roosting at 5 pm on north side of maples and walnuts at lowest point in yard. Easily startled at this time of day. Many still nectaring at this time.

When I checked roosts 6-7 pm Friday evening I located approximately 30. Roosts set up on north side of walnuts and maples in lowest point of yard.
