Well now, I see that allaboutbirds.org cites a BBS-based estimate of global breeding population at 20 million TRSW, so 10 million sounds more plausibly a majority than I would have imagined!

My reply was referring to TRSW- with some of the other seabirds visible on the screenshot, I am not sure, as seabirds can sometimes have a large slice of their global population nesting in a confined area- I would have to research.

Sorry for the late reply!
I do not have any kind of overall population estimate on hand for the species, but I would not think it was approaching a majority. Very numerous and widespread species.

Just wondering. With those numbers could the events comprise the majority of those species?
Thanks. Sandra

I confess I already knew it. I’m a nerd for numbers. 10 million if I recall correctly? I once had an estimated million Tree Swallows in late March at Rockefeller with photos and videos. It was insane.
