I was rather surprised at Sea Drift, I think this past December. I don't
recall my count but a few 100 I think. They were on the beach. ID by
sound no doubt. Played back to confirm for myself as I do not hear them
that frequently. I probably took pics, but I don't remember for sure as
...they are grackles and I have 100's of pics and they were not
particularly close up. I'll check my photo catalogue this evening.
