Monica wrote, "Came upon a large flight of longspurs flying over the road. Stopped to count Used clicker and counting by tens when birds were flying by in numbers too large for clicker to keep up. Timed them: rate of around 100-200+ a minute, tending to come in waves with significant pauses in between. I would think the flight had ended, and it would start up once more. Who knows how many had passed before I happened upon them! This is the second massive longspur flight I’ve witnessed at the top of the Thumb! Time spent:38 min Note: I left before the flight ended to go look for hawks. Unreal."
Michael wrote, "I have been anticipating seeing large flocks of swans since they usually show up about this time of year, but I wasn't expecting to see as many. This morning, a little after 8:00 am, they starting flying westward over the house. In less than 45 minutes I counted more than 3,300 swans in wave after wave. I've seen as many as 1,000 in a day, but this was by far the greatest number in so short a time. It was quite astounding."
