Default 2012 PM Roost Stafford TX

04JUN2012
Last Saturday I watched and waited for the PMs to return to my backyard to roost ad only a few
returned. This gave me an idea to go to the Fountains in Stafford Texas. To my surprise, the PMs
are roosting there again.

Default Getting Bigger

06JUN2012
I went to see if the roost was there for good, I think it is. There were PMs gathered
n the power lines compared to last Saturday (02JUN2012). I saw more PMs circling
above the roost site.

Default Back to the old roost site

18JUN2012
Friday evening (15JUN2012) I went to see how the 2012 PM roost at the Fountains was going, to my
Big surprise, it appears to be twice to three time bigger that when I first saw it. They started at the
Oak tress the line the street that leads to the Sports Authority store and ended up at the trees that
Lines the street in that leads to the front door of the Rack Room Store. I think it is already bigger than
last year’s roost. Some of the late comers to the roost ends up on the smaller trees that lines the street
next to the building between the Rack Room Store and Stein Mart. I parked on the Stein Mart side of the
roost site and had a blast. Got Pooped on a few times. When you’re under thousands of flying PMs,
expect it.
