Great numbers of M.B's flew over my head this morning.Started counting them.This morning went out to check on M.B's 9 A.M
Noticed threatening sky's and high winds starting up. As I walked amongst my trees, I noticed a morning roost of 50. As I walked further amongst the tree line, I saw at least 9 roosts on different trees.As As I walked the line of trees, they flew over my hear in a profusion of
orange sunbursts of color. I noticed them starting to hunker down on bare branches of the lilac bush. As I walked further, they were on the apple trees, pine trees, maple trees, elm trees.
As I watched and counted the wind picked up and the sky darkened. They kept tree hopping because of the wind. Finally the wind blew harder, and they roosted in earnest.
