Observation details
Estimated first by tens, I then tried counting. I think I got to 42 and still had more to go. The flock was very active, constantly changing direction and going up and down. Some birds would double back. Difficult to get an exact count. I made a video that gives a sense how large the flock was (though the video doesn't show the entire flock at once). It has evidently been a good time for this species as I had them last night in Dimmitt, this morning over a field, and at the Hart Irrigation Ponds. It seems that anything with water has had Black Terns on it today.
