Number: 100

There are monarchs flying all over in the maple trees. Too many to count. It is 6 pm so they are possibly going to roost here tonight.

We saw 100 or more flying around the maple trees and they are now roosting. Once it got dark, I couldn't get a good picture.

The roost formed on 9/13.

I just guessed at the number. They were everywhere, so there could have been more.

We have two pastures here on our farm that are covered in sweet clover and I did see them visiting the clover.

The overnight low was 56°. The slight wind was ENE which put some of them in the breeze. The pictures I took were of a Hackberry tree east of our house.
