Number: 350

They have been in my back yard at night for 2 days

They always started coming in around 7pm. The first day I noticed was the 16th but was not aware what was happening until the next day the 17th. There is a clover field in front of my house across the road. BUt they seem to come from another direction. The evening temp was in the high 50s. They all roosted in the same tree same side east side. The wind usually comes from the west. This was so awesome to see and be a part of. It always appeared that 1 or 2 either got here first or stayed behind to guide the others. There were about 3 large groups that roosted and at least 50 to 60 in a group. They finally quit coming about 4 days ago, Sept 18th. I believe total that came through was at least 350. It is very difficult to count them.

Editor’s note: Observer confirmed 9/16 is the night the roost formed.
