I could not go to DC, but I did go to a local one. They had a scroll with a pledge they asked everyone to sign. It was not advertised that it was even there. At the end of the event, they announced that they had 3500 signatures. I estimate the crowd was around 5,000. The paper reported 2,500. There were a lot more than 1.5 million voices if you cound all the tea parties held across the country on 9/12.

BTW, the federal parks service estimate from aerial photos is between 1.2 and 1.6 million people. When did the "federal [sic] parks service" (do you mean the National Park Service?) resume the practice of issuing crowd estimates?

And the AP reported Sunday that "Many protesters said they paid their own way to the event."

It’s not a no-fly zone, it’s a fly only with express permission zone. NPS regularly has choppers over the Jan 22 “March for Life”, but they don’t issue crowd estimates.

Of course. Forgot about that. I don't recall them giving out a crowd count after the 2009 MfL, though.

If we have to resist, armed, it won’t be that way.
It’ll be all of us defending our states from federal invasion after our states tell them to go pound sand.

It was posted in a thread on FR I read today. I doubt you will find a confirmation on the web because the NPS no longer provides official crowd estimates, but they still take aerial photos. The information was likely given out by officers in the service in a leak format.So whatever we know will remain unofficial just as the politicians want.
I believe these numbers, they are based on unofficial empirical data.Others are mere speculation.

I can vouch for the two following,
because "I" screencapped them LIVE from the Washington, DC traffic cams, and I added the time at the top of each image for comparison:
