That makes perfect sense as to where they were going. Wow, so they go at least 15 miles one way from feeding place to resting place.

I don't recall seeing this many still around at this time of year.

I could only stay about 10 minutes, so have no idea how long the river of flocks continued. They were flying pretty much parallel to Cayuga Lake, hard to say just where they were headed.
