Honestly I was too astounded to count so don't know how many, but at the peak of the event I was seeing about one per second. Some were flying through at tree canopy level and lower, and many had landed in the grass and were taking off - all headed west. I initially was seeing them through our south facing windows, across the garden spot and field. Their path west meant they were going in the direction of a wooded area behind our house and outbuildings so I went back there to look. As I walked under the trees they would stir up and fly around. There were some in the field behind us as well. Near dusk, we looked for a roost but didn't find one; though there were still quite a lot that would fly out from the cedar and black walnut in one particular corner.
