User's notes
very conservative estimate amazed how many kept appearing at times it was up to 6 at a time. Spent several minutes trying to get pics of them flying and or hoping they would land when they did it was only for a very short time. Several times 3 would fly together of mixed sexes but mainly it was pairs flying together.
not on CNM for this location as of this posting
