One of at least 10 that John Hebert & I saw (& heard) at this spot. In one flock I saw 8 as I scanned through a third of the flock, before the whole flock flushed. It settled back down again, but I didn't scan again. One of the birds was an adult male in full breeding plumage. Some were in full winter plumage, and others were intermediate. John & I pointed the Stepniewskis & Eric to this flock, telling them of the relatively large numbers of LALO in it. In their eBird checklists and in Andy's BirdYak post Eric mentioned finding 7 LALO, but based on their lack of a nod to John & I, they might have found birds at an entirely different location.
