Another image from my recent trip. This flock actually took off right behind me (when I was looking the other way) and the sound was like thunder when they all started flapping their wings at nearly the same time. The telephoto shot doesn't quite show how many birds were actually there, but when they flew over me they pretty much blotted out the sun. It was incredible!

Ryan,
Outstanding! I love the composition. My eye just wonders all over the image (something I think is important). Great stuff!

Good thing they weren't seagulls when they flew over you or you would have ended up as white as they were. :D
