There have been a small number of YTBCs in the vicinity of our property ever snce we moved in.  The sighted flock size is usually 2 -5, with one observation of 10.  Most of these have cruised over or into my GBS site.  Tonight there was an enormous ruckus just to the NW of the site and after some 20 minutes of increasing pandemonium a flock of some 60 birds flew past, heading roughly east.  This was the biggest, and noisiest, flock I have seen since 2004.
 
They missed the edge of the block unfortunately so an incidental record will have to do.
