What a beautiful sight. While out check cattle we ran into some pure beauty. They have been hanging around for about four hour. We will go back out today to see if they are still here.

We first saw them around 3pm, went back to check on them just before dark. 8:30 pm and they were still there. As for how many I would say maybe 500. I am guessing. Lots in several trees. When we went back out today 9/7/2015 at 2pm they were gone only saw 3 flying around. Temp over night got down in the 40's. Morning was windy and very chilly. No wind very shielded area.Food source around: sweet clover and alfalfa. I wish we would have noticed them sooner. Our Temps are dropping so no surprise they are on the move.
