Observation details
HUGE flock of magpies, conservative estimate. Photo taken, but with long lens and this does not capture the full flock. Photos taken with 600 mm lens, horiz angle of view of 3.2 deg, in other words the photos below capture a very small fraction of the entire flock observed. Note these birds were seen in an area infested with grasshoppers. The image of the tree with magpies is only one of many different trees with magpies. I did see some juveniles in the flock based on tail length (very short), however I did not get a count estimate of them. Next time, I hope to have a wider angle lens with me :-)
