Observation details
4 huge flocks in v’s right behind one another & then 3 more flocks & so many more would couldn’t count & then 2 more flocks & then 3 more flocks & other flocks of 92, 80 & 20, 67, 27, 73 Edited to add: We heard and saw them from the parking lot immediately upon exiting the car. Continuous flights of flocks of 20-120 birds each, all heading SE, passing overhead every 5-10 minutes as we walked through the woods, for more than an hour before sunset. We counted these birds fairly precisely, counting the larger flocks by tens. There were more flocks flying overhead that we were unable to count because they flew too low for us to see them accurately, as our view was blocked by the trees. But we could hear them distinctly, and there were likely a few hundred more than we reported. We took photos and videos of many of the flocks.
