Found a Monarch Bed & Breakfast two days ago but the real action there was last eve and this morning. Deciduous trees wrapped in English Ivy. I am sure I underestimated the number-significantly. Windy (SW) and cool, when they woke up this morning many moved up to form new clusters near the top where the sun could warm them sooner. Winds out of the NW, some started to leave but many came down to eat breakfast on the Ivy. I have many photos & some video...

Roost first formed, Oct 7.
Counted # of adults in several clusters and multiplied by # clusters seen.
Roosted in deciduous trees.
Monarchs were shielded from wind in their roost location.
