I gotta agree, No.

Why are they still on the ground, shouldn't they be roosting?  :confused:

Good question.    :confused:   They should be on the roost unless something scared them out the trees right at dark and they can't fly up again.   I have heard of that happening but I've never seen it for myself.

I do know that bobcats will go after them in the roost.

It was a very dark day and raining when this pic was taken, they were out in a field feeding along with a nice doe, when I took the pic my camera was set on auto mode so it used flash... :wink:
Ive seen birds out until it was very late feeding.

Ive seen em real early n real late...im guessing with their phenomenal eye sight and the eye-glow factor like a deer they have some pretty danged good low-light/night vision.
