As I'd reported earlier, on Friday I could barely make out from Aurora a distant raft of Snow Geese, which I considered "small" with a guesstimate of 1000-2000 geese. Turns out I was off by an order of magnitude: there were 10,298 geese. Probably still "small" compared to the "big" gathering.
How did I get so precise a count?
