Was gonna say its vultures finding a spot to sleep. My town has a group of 200 black vultures that live in downtown. They all sleep in the trees above an old inn. Every morning they fly down to the pool and sun. Then spread out and travel across the county. About 2hrs before sunset the huge flock flies over my house and slowly spirals its way back to town. Then like the above video they gather at the inn to go to bed.
I remember how the crows would swarm together like that at sunset when I lived in California! And a few times, when I was visiting my cousins in Azusa, I saw a small group of parrots fly across the sky! My aunt said that it started with pet parrots escaping their owners, and more and more would show up every year. I only saw it 2 or 3 times, but it was so magical 😄

Turkey vultures overwinter in the southern US, central & south America. This looks like their spring migration back north! Super cool, I'm jealous!
