Monarch Fall Roost
Sightings report image

Date: 09/13/2020

Number: 100

They were just starting to roost for the night.

The roost first formed on the 13th. We had our last girl hatch and we’re keeping an eye on her...and started seeing more and more Monarchs. By the evening, they were starting to mass up.

We counted what we could in clusters and then counted the clusters we could see, plus those in flight. I’m sure 100 is conservative. I’m positive we didn’t see all of the clusters.

We have 4 acres of natural landscape on the Maumee River. There are Golden Rods, Aster, Sunflowers all in the field.

Overnight low temperature was about 55-60 degrees overnight.

Wind out of the North West, but light. I’d say 5-6 mph.
They were on the leeward side of the tree line.

We were so excited. This led us to your site, which we will continue to update in future seasons. We actually have had several monarchs, caterpillar’s, and chrysalis
