bjarvisI've been writing documentation fairly steadily since 8 AM. A few minutes ago, I left my cube to stare north out the windows to the horizon for a while to let my eyes relax. A distance away, I saw what I beleived to be faint smoke blowing west to east with the wind. After a moment, I realized it was actually a dense jetstream of flocking birds, something the size of a large sparrow.
Looking as far as I could to the east and west, I could see neither the start nor end of this flow: they simply faded off into the distance in each direction. I began picking out individuals in the stream and it was clear they were moving at a very quick pace. A full 2.5 minutes later, the end of the flock finally flew past.
That's a whopping huge number of birds.
