p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Dance of the Dunlins


A murmuration is a shape-shifting cloud formed by a huge flock of birds. Clouds of dunlin flash between brilliant white and darker colors as they swirl in the morning sun.

The dunlin is a familiar shorebird around the world. In non-breeding plumage it is drab gray with a brownish head and breast and white underwings that are especially distinctive in flight. As a flock twists and turns together in flight, white flashes of underwing gleam in the sun even from a distance.

This video shows the spectacle much better than my feeble stills:

Super set Tony with that 3rd image taking the prize for me. In that image the little Bufflehead in the lower right-hand corner makes that image very unique.
