Observation details
Flagged high count. Impressive flight of these blackbirds, all W to E. Many counted individually, some counted by 5s and 10s. Perhaps many stayed in the area this winter due to the mild season. 84 (counted individually) at 9:50 735 (counted from photo) at 10:04 24 (counted individually) at 10:06 280 (tried counting individually but switched to count by 10s when overwhelmed by the stream of them!) at 10:08 219 (counted from photo) 10:12 83 (counted individually) 10:14 224 (42 counted individually, 41 counted individually, 141 counted from photo) at 10:22 55 (counted by 5s) at 10:26 4 at 10:30 60 (counted by 10s) at 10:56 Total: 1,768 ** Using "blackbird sp." filter to account for possibility of additional blackbirds in flocks, but I only saw COGR!
