Five volunteers completed this week's survey under pleasantly warm and sunny conditions. During their fall migration south, monarchs not only need nectar for food but also a safe place to sleep each night. The pair shown below were part of a small group that roosted in the trees near the Family Garden and were still warming up in the early morning.
