Observation details
They're everywhere, sometimes perched on bushes or poles, other times on the ground calling to each other. The voices are coming from every direction. In the 15 miles of this count and about 200 feet deep on either side of the road, with about 2 per acre on each side of the road. That would be over 1500 just along the road. I conservatively estimate a sixth of that. One of them followed me for a mile, landing on various perches as I inched along at 5 mph admiring.
