Thousands on our property south of Midland.

We have lived at this property for 2 years now and this is the monarchs second year to grace us with their presence! We look forward to it. We live on 18 acres and most of it is heavily treed. We have a small pond in the middle of the trees.

The Monarchs have been roosting overnight now for a few days. (Still roosting as of Oct 3)

The Monarchs first appeared September 30, in the afternoon.

The estimate was simply a number to enter. There have been thousands to be honest. Absolutely no way to count them. More than I have ever seen!

The trees they are roosting in are live oaks and red oaks. And they are definitely shielded by the wind here. We have so many trees they are very protected.

I took a couple videos as well just to show how many there are. I can send one if you’d like. This is quite an event now in our household!
