Observation details
Two very large flocks seen in an open field. Count was difficult due to the birds flying from ground to adjacent trees, always on the move. I was able to count one group at about 250 birds, then estimate the whole group. I actually think the count is conservative. As all I had was a telephoto lens, I was only able to capture a small fraction of the birds present in the photo.
