They were ahead of an evening storm and were landing for the night in mesquite trees all around me. Quite amazing.

I was in a bow blind, deer hunting. I was trying to knock down a spider that was building a web above my head, when I saw them, en masse. Many of them were very high in the sky. It seemed that the front was carrying them along. I was about 25 feet high a bow blind & it was getting dark. There were 2 on one mesquite branch & one on another approximately 15 feet away from me. I had my iPhone, but it was dusk, so I couldn’t get a picture of any quality. Believe me, I sure wanted to. They were “roosting” all along the mesquites.

We’ve owned the property for 20 years, and I have never seen them before in that number. We don’t live there, but we go out about once a week this time of year. It was a truly amazing sight.
