Last year when I saw them roosting they were in a White Oak Tree...hundreds of them on one tree. This year they roosted on several Oak trees and also on Juniper trees. That was a real surprise. We saw them in the early eve and early morning when we were walking the dogs around the perimeter of our 29 acre farm. As we would walk by they would fly off the trees and would position themselves back on the trees as we passed. It was like watching an air ballet without music...very beautiful, silent and awesome!! During the day as I was walking/photographing birds I would see lots of them on the Red Clover ,Thistle and wildflower blooms that have done very well this year.
