Observation details
***EXTREMELY High Count. Epic flight of unprecedented magnitude.
Birds were all southbound, and this is the number that was on the clicker at the end of my day. Clicking by ones.
Fog hampered efforts of censusing all individuals during my time there. During times of reasonable visibility the peak flight was ~80/minute. Visibility was never really "good," but it got to almost a half mile off shore at some point. Flight started about 30 minutes before I got there, and Scott had already counted a shade over 100 individuals when I showed up.
Photos of several and some crappy digiscoped video of the flight line were obtained.
