After a week of rain and the promise of a clear morning, I headed to the prairie at Holy Wisdom Monastery in Middleton, Wisconsin, to see if there was an increase in activity. I saw about two dozen monarchs feeding on prairie flowers,as well as some on the trees preparing to take flight.
I returned at sunset, and found approximately 50 roosting on a dead tree branch. Also saw many others disappear in nearby trees..too high for me to see where they actually settled
For anyone who may venture out to the prairie, this was on the east side. Walk the trail to where you see a semi circle of benches.
