only about 1/4 of the group that was on the bar..
Observation details
These birds were hunkered down on an oyster bar just offshore. As we were leaving, they were flushed by something. Was hoping to id and count them as we left. The photos may or may not help give you a better ID. This shows only about 1/4 of the numbers, as they dispersed in multiple directions (except over me, of course). However, one good sized mass just hovered in place over the oyster bar, and eventually lit. There were just so many, I didn't want to ignore them in the count.
