I have more photos. Every year the Monarchs come through our property in September. They migrate through and also roost. The roost is always on the West side of the trees and trees that are center of the property protected from the wind. The tree most often used is the American Elm. I believe it is because the Japanese Beetles ravage this tree all summer. It has many brown destroyed leaves for the Monarchs to blend with. Second favorite is the Oak, followed by the Maple. Roost typically are found near turning or brown leaves.
