Beautiful sight of thousands of monarchs flying around trees in the farm yard, beginning to roost for the night 6:00-7:00 pm
Temp - 64
Breezy, Westerly winds, roosting on SE sides of maples and hemlock.

Clover field nearby.

This was the first that thousands were sighted here. Over the last weeks, 20-30 were seen roosting at a time.

[Additional information contributed by observer, added by Journey North, 10/04/21]:

That was the only evening that so many butterflies were spotted at that sight. The following evening, some came, but I estimate a hundred or so (saw one set of roosting butterflies of about 50-70, with some still flying around).
