Media notes
This is one of few birds actually at the lake side after drinking.
Observation details
This is a conservative estimate of the actual number of birds, the vast majority of which were roosting on the gravel plains away from the Lake perimeter. Most birds lifted into the air as I approached the lake in my vehicle. They flew a short distance to the nearby desert dunes. A few birds remained and some were seen drinking from the Lake.
