Notes
Found under a large board.
31 were counted and Number (in second picture, if the picture is saved and magnified, youll see the numbering. There are apear to
be more, but very hard to see in the picture and therefore not counted. there was also some time between getting the camara out and when the board was lifted and quite a few ringnecks scattered. I estimate 50 or more were under the board prelift..
Truly AMAZING..
There is two other boards within a few feet of this one that had the same type of thing...see Records 36288 and 36290
