ON THE EDGE OF A VERY LARGE AGRICULTURAL FIELD, FILLED WITH PURPLE CLOVER BUT ALSO MANY OTHER FLOWERING PLANTS SUCH AS GOLDENROD ALONG THE EDGE - ABOUT 1000 MONARCHS WERE ROOSTING IN CLUSTERS IN THE TREES OF THE FOREST LINING THE WEST EDGE HIS FIELD. AGRICULTURAL FIELD PERHAPS 20 ACRES IN SIZE, LOCATED CLOSE TO THE SHORE OF LAKE ONTARIO. DURING THE DAYTIME, THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF MONARCHS NECTARING IN THIS FIELD, SO THE ACTUAL NUMBER ROOSTING IN THIS FOREST BUT OUT OF SIGHT MAY HAVE BEEN MUCH LARGER.
