After a cold, rainy week more activity picked up. About 4:30pm I noticed many monarchs flying in the yard and starting to gather on tree branches. This morning (9/13) I counted 140 roosting in the usual spot on the silver maples facing south to a clearing. More smaller roosts observed facing east. Some had started to fly down to the pasture which is still full of blooming clover. Temps yesterday were 64/52. Today should warm up and end our unseasonably cold snap.
