These guys were getting spooked by something, maybe a falcon. I didn't see one, but there was one there before.
They would all take off and then after flying around, come in for a landing.
I don't know how they managed it.

I think that they are Willets, but I am not sure.

Thank you.
I have not seen that many at once. I don't know if it was a predator that spooked them or what. But it was utter confusion.

I like it, topcat! Flocks have always been difficult for me!

Thank you, chief.
They are difficult. Besides getting the right composition, you have to get them in reasonable focus.
I guess that it is more a matter of luck. Sometimes you hit it, some times you miss it. There are a lot more misses than hits. But I like them, so I keep trying.
