Sandpipers

I noticed a really large flock of these swift birds one night as the sun was setting.One second they appeared dark, and then in a flash you could see all their bellies and the flock would then appear a bright silver.I'm quite sure there had to be at least 300 birds here.It's really amazing to me to see how these creatures can seem to move in perfect unison during such elaborate and acrobatic maneuvers.
