I saw east of the beach ridge.
Approximately 200 per along the
shore between ARC and Murok.
They were feeding in shallow
water between 5 and 15 feet
off the shore and were feeding
in the charotshniky phototype
way - that's spinning circles.

They were all feeding and
ranged from being a short out
to 50 feet from shore.
