Just a small portion of the total flock.
Observation details
Rough estimate. I estimated that there were about 20:1 Westerns:Leasts. They were crawling all over the shores of the rocky islands, and at several points I counted smaller subgroups. They were really packed in, and birds were arriving in small flocks throughout my observation. I tried hard to turn them into other species, but could not. Only a handful of adults (~10). Apparently this estimate is ~4x the next highest Mendocino County count.
