9/29/25 ~60 monarchs counted in South Boundary trees at dawn.

Observer Comments (map note):
Large influx of monarchs—the first significant aggregation since establishing our native meadow. Aster clumps had ≥10 adults feeding. Roost trees provide shelter 10 ft from meadow. Most monarchs I’ve ever seen here.
