Media notes

Calls from various parts of a large flock of 300+ individuals. Seven segments recorded sequentially with voice announcements between describing the context of each. Early segments focused on only a few visible birds, later segments with more birds as they flew out of where they had been hidden deep in the trees, then segments later still more focused on fewer birds in the same area after the majority of the flock had moved off. Largest flock calling starts around 2:30, best fewer individual call sequences start around 3:15, 6:10, and 7:50.

Observation details

*Awesome. First seen following a tractor plowing a field, then followed to where they were roosting in trees and orchard in a shady section of hedgerow. Only ~50 visible at first, but when they started to fly we could get a better sense of numbers. Huge flock.
