Flushed a 2nd roost while driving down a road on the Hailey Ranch this morning. Hard to estimate size because it was later morning and many flew out as we drove by. Estimate 50 to 100 remaining in 5 trees.
This roost was on Cedar elm trees along a road, native nectar plants around were Leavenworth’s eryngo, grindelia squarosa, grindelia papposa, common sunflowers. I think the roost is probably much larger, but we scattered them by driving by.
The roost is near a pavilion area. There is a grassy area with trees on it and trees surrounding the area with creek running to the north.
