Very cool, Jim.  I'm planning on going to the coast the next couple of days, though further north, so hopefully there will still be lots of shorebirds around.  This is a really nice flock shot with no real need for a specific focal point.  It would make a great screensaver or monitor background.

Very good frame of this flock, Jim. It's always interesting to me that so many fly in such perfect formation.

This is great Jim. This would make a heck of a puzzle.

Hi Jim,

No nits here. I spent a few minutes scanning the flock looking for the oddball species mixed in witrh the flock. Well done.................Jim

Love this shot, Jim!  The waves in the background make it particularly special.  I'm also glad you used a narrow aperture so that they are all in focus and sharp, plus it shows more detail in the waves.  I also agree with Ed that it would make a killer puzzle!  Very nice devil
