Media notes
This flock of Cedar Waxwings has 56 birds
Observation details
I am using this number as it is the count of birds that got in one flock. There was a second, and larger flock that I did not get a count on, that was north of the parking lot, and flew to the area behind the parks maintenance shed. I was not able to get a clear look to confirm this flock of bird, seen from several hundred yards away was indeed Cedar Waxwings, but in that area there not likely to be any other birds with that flight pattern and in large flocks. So, it is quite possible that this number should be well over double what I have posted here.
