Media notes
Part of the first group of 450
Observation details
Started with huge group of band tailed pigeons flying in a horizontal line from left to right, headed North.. I stopped my bike, counted by 25s with binoculars and got 450, and then scrambled to get my camera out, got distant photo of partial group. 5 minutes later, another group launched off some trees to the south. I rushed again to get my camera out and got a slightly better photo of a small portion of this second (lesser) group of about 150. About 15-20 minutes later I was stopped and saw another 100 or so. Probably 450+150+100= 700 total but lowering count to be conservative.
