I roughly estimate there was 5000 in just the field I was shooting at. With more fields with geese in them, however inaccessible.
Just a small section of the whole flock.

Which is how I got the 5000 number. I counted groups of 50, then colored them with PS paintbrush, leaving me with 100 groups of 50 birds. Counting the back rows was very difficult, So the 5000# is just an estimate.
I have to link to it because it is larger than 1024px (it's 5000px)
Anyhoo, here's the link to a panoramic view of the whole flock.

We have, on several occasions, seen HUGE flocks high overhead and in fields heading west from Memphis on I40. This has been in Jan.
