    Surprised to see so many together on open water. I had 12 on the south side and ~ 100 on the north side as viewed from Blaine Avenue. I counted male and females in the larger group. I counted twice, each from a different vantage point and using a scope: 96 and 100 were my counts with the latter being reported here.
