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.
