Observation details
Wow! Definitely conservative. Counted at least 21 in one pass over the pond, but I believe there were more than this as I scanned quickly to avoid potentially double counting (high winds were blowing the birds all around). Later 5 more flew in from the surrounding rice fields. 26 was the highest I could find in a photo from when they all picked up at one point. Will post pics. Seems like this location gets really high numbers of Black Terns in late April, early May.
