Roosting area's are just that, a place of safety for the birds to rest and a great place for the hunter to watch to see where the birds are going to feed.
Many people automatically associate water with shooting a roost and blowing birds out if an area .
It's not always the case .
On big lakes and Rivers it is not an issue
