Re: [Maine-birds] estimating bird numbers

Thanks, Peter. And just to give credit where it's due, this was an interesting and long thread on the Frontiers of Field Identification listserv, where there was a lot of back and forth on the topic of counting flocks. The link is to Martin Reid's website, where he assembled this estimate-but-verify sequence of images.

Good fall birding to all!

We've all struggled with counting birds, especially large flocks.  Jan Pierson forwarded this link that provides many pics of large flocks.  The idea is to estimate the first image and then click on the image to get the actual count.

You'll be amazed.
