Very nice triple roost on the east side of Standing Cedars nature preserve.
NW wind about 8mph most of the day, still some breeze at seven o'clock. Monarchs used a huge cottonwood tree, the leeward side, away from the wind and towards the morning sunrise.
Got to see each cluster forming, growing butterfly by butterfly. largest cluster I counted was 21 monarchs.
Temps were still in the 60s but heading towards lower 50s for the night.
Surprisingly, alfalfa fields with good bloom did not hold monarchs last night.
So I would say the migration was very light through our area.
