Observation details

Amazing chance encounter. Great views as the birds were hunting up the hillside then flying and banking around and over us. And the afternoon light really made that golden mantle glow. An unexpected and fun experience. *flagged for high count. Very conservative count of a flock feeding along the hillside, likely more.
