Still working outside today., I moved around more so saw more. Temp still warmer reaching upper 80s. Light wind, less than previous two days. More than half sighted in cover. Almost all the rest on Liatris feeding or flying between them. No obvious directional flight. Late afternoon I entered a tree grove that has in cold weather past contained roosts and startled about 25 at once into brief flight before they settled to new perch. Perched on bare twigs under Juniper, Live Oak, Chittamwood, sugarberry, pecan, and others. Perched singly not in groups. Appeared to be sheltering from sun, not classic evening roosting. Also startled many from individual Juniper and Live Oak. Perched well into tree in shade, not easily visible until they flew.
