User's notes
First reported from this site on May 4th by John and Kathy. Today I counted 20 birds as they flew individually from one stand of trees to another. Others have reported up to 38 birds in recent days. The birds were mostly feeding on lerps near the tops of the trees, and calling infrequently. The group included some young birds.
