Could you use a best estimate, 101-1000 is a very large range

guess about 200 - 300 not too good at guessing the large numbers. They were on the water, on the logs and then half left after a few hours and then a few minutes later most of the rest flew off as well, not sure where to. Did not see as many there the next morning.
