Number: 72

Birding and watching for butterflies with binoculars at Clinton Lake--see map for location. At 1:30pm saw several Monarchs flying into trees where others were already roosting, some in clusters. Counted 38 total in two trees. Watched for at least 30 minutes, counting several times using binoculars. More flew in and toward these trees as I walked toward the beach. I returned to this spot at 4:05pm and counted 62 total in the same two trees, with about 6 flying around in other trees a few feet from the main roost trees. More sighted near the parking area as I left. 72 roosting Monarchs is a very good estimate but likely more. Breezy around the lake, light wind from the SE.
