Observation details
WOW. Exact count! And I probably missed a few. All birds were flying directionally up high, from south to north (ish), spread out widely across the sky. I heard the first one calling in the distance around 6:45 PM; largest number of birds passed over between then and 7:15, I had about 20 in view at one time during this span. There was a lull for a while, then another dozen or so followed the same flight path. Most were silent, maybe 7 or 8 called. They were spread widely across the sky, and spaced in time over half an hour or more, so couldn’t get many in a single pic. Photos here show six different individuals (the dark pic shows a bird that was to my east, the other 5 to the west toward the setting sun).
