Observation details
Amazing flock foraging found during the Coastal Tip Christmas Brid Count just off the north side of highway 4 in shallow water on the flats. Birds would spread out until one small group would become particularly frenzied after finding a bunch of fish grouped up in the shallow channeled water, at which point the entire flock would fly over and join the hoard. This count was completed during one of these movements - birds counted individually or by 5s as they flew left to right through my scope view to join a feeding flock. This number is not too much higher than SB's earlier count of ~550 at this same location plus the 72 I had separately not too far away. In 2019 I also counted 526 here at Boca Chica during this same Christmas Bird Count, showing how important this site is to large flocks of birds.
