Observation details
Reported earlier in the day on eBird but misidentified as long-billed. Max count 39, one photo below shows the entire flock and 39 heads. Appeared to be a mix of hendersoni (mostly) and griseus. Perhaps only two or three very good candidate griseus in the flock, many other of the paler birds may well have been hendersoni not fully advanced in molt. Appears to be the second-largest single flock for Allegheny County, bested by a group of 46 at this location 9 May 2004. However with the 15 others I located today at the Truck Stop pond, the day total of 54 is likely a new county high count.
