Observation details
Spectacular sight! Very large number of birds! At first gathering in trees a bit northeast of the ponds, outside of the park. As I was walking south away from the gathering scene, short after sunset, they had taken flight going south, passing over the ponds from northeast to southwest taking several minutes for them to all have passed me. 5000 is a very conservative approximate, most definitely way, way more. Counted on a video by the second how many passed but it went on for longer than I had on video and therefor what I accounted for, also all birds did not fit in frame as they were flying rather low and pretty much right above.
