Observation details
Large flock on the ground around a group of cattle just south of West Ocean Avenue opposite the entrance to the park. At the time I was thinking these birds were mostly Red-winged Blackbirds and Brown-headed Cowbirds, but a helpful commenter said they think they see Tricolored Blackbirds, and looking again I think I may be seeing them too. Estimated by 10s afterwards from two photos that showed most of the flock.
