So any ideas why I would see 200 (safe estimate) males and no Girls anywhere? Is that normal?

Should I have looked elsewhere? meaning not in the immediate area of the males?

New at this so just wondering. :)

Wow! Was this today? Keep looking around because there’s bound to be females, too. Males vastly outnumber females during flights just like at a typical bar, lol.
