Cool sighting! Seeing these large flocks of ducks is neat. Great shots!

You got a lot better shot than I have been able to so far!

I have been on the look out as they have migrated into our region also!

This is very cool. I love it!

WOW! I'll bet this was exciting to see (and hear!) in person! Great photos - it always astounds me how huge flocks of birds can all turn or rise as one entity without crashing into one another! (Humans driving in parking lots or intersections could learn a thing or two from our feathered friends!)

there were actually two swarms - the top picture shows just one.
and it was eerily silent, except for the waves

Totally amazing. I saw something similar on Thursday and am posting about it on Monday, But you got much better photos of the birds flying in.

They look like they might be black-caped petrals. I love how they land and fall into a single long line.

What a sight! And probably what a sound too?

I'm guess they are Canada geese.

Nice photos, I find it always difficult to make photos of birds. They are always moving too much.
