Observation details

Saw dozens kettling, orginally figured vultures then realized SWHA. Carefully counted the first 104. All SWHA. Quite impressive, the higher I looked I kept seeing more. I drove down Sunland Gin and flushed another 30 from mesquites and phone poles; one mesquite had 6 SWHA perched in it. Counted remaining by 10s. Really excited to have a chance to see this.
