Number: 30

I saw at least 30 monarchs over the course of about 5 days. They roosted in several trees on my farm before moving on. I had a lot of goldenrod, sedum and aster blooming as well as milkweed.

Uncertain of the date the roost first formed because I was in the process of moving from NC to NY. I believe I saw them roosting a couple of days before I made the report.

The number is a complete guess based on how many I was able to count at one time. My boyfriend actually thinks there were over 100.

They were roosting in sugar maple trees. It is typically very windy at my farm so it would be tough for them to be out of the wind. Neither of the trees I saw them in are specifically protected from the wind.
