Observation details
Heard blackbirds from the sky but could not see them, then realized long line of dark cloud over Charwell Point was actually a flock of grackles 300-400 metres long. Then noticed another similarly sized flock directly overhead. My jaw actually dropped. 10,000 birds is best estimate, but there could have been more.
