A wonderful surprise to see this roost at the Michigan City beach park. They must have com across the lake and needed a resting spot.

Editor's note: contacted observer for more details on this sighting

1. I can’t confirm when the roost first happened. I came across it while walking my dog in washington park. I watched them flutter about for about 10 minutes. It was around noon eastern time on Saturday, September 14.
2. My estimate was just a guess.
3. The park didn’t have any flowering plants. It was park with large trees and lawn for ground cover.
4. The Friday night before I saw them, the low temp was 57F. And Saturday night low temp was 71F.
5. I don’t know the wind conditions. Yes, they were shielded from any wind. The park is about .3 miles from the Washington park beach , which a lakefront beach of Michigan City.
