Either way, natural events like that are cool and worth putting the effort towards.
I saw about 15 and was only watching for about an hour....that wasn't too bad, I was in the heart of the Ozark Mountains nestled in a valley at about 29 degrees cold, with running water being the only movement I could hear, and an occasional bear/deer running scooting through....WOW! It was amazing out by Devil's Den State Park over the weekend.
