Indeed, I was amazed at the number. There were four or five popping every
time I pished, so unless they were following me all around the area, 15 was
probably a conservative estimate. It's the most I've seen in one morning,
too, with the exception of one time at Skinner Butte a couple of years ago,
when they were everywhere.
Happy spring!
