Observation details
There was a mixed flock of adults and immature birds, but I can't sort out relative numbers from the photos of the whole flock as they are bunched up; the total may be a slight undercount as birds were coming and going from the flock in the 15 minutes or so that we observed them. We started at the far west end of the lake and then moved around the end to the north side of the bay and walked across the salt flat toward the edge of the lake to approach the flock much closer. Black kites circling the west end of the lake above the Flamingoes caused them to fly up and resettle several times.
