Most of the first flock; note that there were seven SESA in this flock as well.
Observation details
**Crazy number for Wyoming; previous state high count was 57. Large flocks in both of the western cells here (41.862751, -104.295427) and here (41.863278, -104.293153); only two birds in the easternmost wetland. Very careful count of both large flocks through scope; the flock in the westernmost cell was more condensed, allowing me to make a count from a single photo (108 individuals). The other flock was more dispersed, so I had to count through the scope and arrived at 142 individuals. I carefully sorted through each flock for other peep species. This must be about peak migration for them moving through SE Wyoming.
