Observation details
Large flock circled lake and then landed on grassy hillside on northwest side of lake by the nature observation area. The flock repeatedly rose, circled the lake and landed again at this place. We think they landed here because the previous mudflat habitats at the lake are now under water. Once the sun came out and the wind dropped the birds began resting/sleeping on the grassy slope. Exact count (+/- 1) obtained from photo of flock in flight.
