Observation details
*Triples my previous Chebacco high. Didn't record individual flyovers at first because I didn't plan to stay until dusk initially, but almost all were in groups of 1-5. I stayed late to try to get to 100, and came up painfully short. I used to assume that almost all the birds which take this overland flight line from Essex bay to Manchester are breeding colony birds, but this number suggests otherwise. Years ago I didn't do many evening watches this early in the spring, so maybe this has been a historically common phenomenon. But it's still so interesting to have this concentration of birds over my lake.
