More roosts tonight! I counted at least 175 monarchs on the north sides of my large silver maple trees with more flying around. Today the wind shifted to out of the south/ southwest at about 10-15mph. I have observed them changing the sides of the tree that the roost on based on wind direction, very interesting. Highs today in low 80s and sunny, tonight down to 60. I checked out the pasture this afternoon with all the booming clover and it was filled with monarchs (and bees of all types!) enjoying the nectar.
