Marvelous shot, Jim. Too bad you didn't get one of the
really big flocks. :-)

Pete, I've asked the exact same question every time I see these crazy birds all take off together. I really don't know how they can flow so close together. The only thing I can think of is all that yelling they do all the time must be like honking the horn in your car in dense traffic. At least, that's how they do it in India!

I'm not very good with numbers but there must be more than 25 there - lol
How do they not bump into each other, and how can you fly in that turbulence.
Nice to see a flock and realise that not every thing is becoming extinct!

It must be fantastic to see sights like this with ones own eyes.
A great shot Jim.

Great shot Jim! Would have been interesting to see the exif to see how you did this stunning image! Great job!

Wish you could add sound, Jim! This is awesome.
You have convinced me to dig out some archived shots - I think I
have some the others have not seen.
