I was at the saddle at gate to road L1520 from 0700 to 0900 hrs. I was about 20 mins late but movement was still great which died off at 0830 hrs. The wind was howling and pushed me around at times (reminded me of birding hurricanes in Florida except i was not dodging tree limbs). I could not identify every bird as they came over the ridge in groups some being large. I am guessing I missed about 650 passerines and that is a conservative guess. Here are the numbers.
