Observation details
Exact count, at least this many. Groups of 16, 4 and 4. Well seen and heard. Initially a group of 12 individuals flew over us and landed in the dunes. I went to check them out and accidentally flushed them, when they flew I counted 16, indicating that the initial flock had joined another (smaller) flock. I walked on in the opposite direction, as I didn't want to flush the birds again. Along the way I found two more small groups of 4 LALOs. The first group flew across the bay and the second took off and landed elsewhere in the dunes. Both of the smaller flocks were well away from the larger group, and I am sure that they wereall different birds. I believe that later in the day others counted 16 LALOs at this location.
