EventMonarch Fall Roost
Date of Sighting10/26/03
CommentsYesterday in Novillo Canyon, just west of Victoria in Tamaulipas, Mexico, there were thousands of monarchs roosting in the trees overhanging the canyon. It was cold and rainy, so the bugs were mostly hanging in the trees. Some of the branches were orange w/monarchs. We were there for a few hours from about 9 am to 11:30, and at times there were clouds of monarchs above us. We saw very few other butterfliers, but the monarchs were great. This is the only time we have seen them in Novillo in these numbers.
