Observation details

These birds (see photos) were flying just above the water, headed north, caravan style. The line of birds seemed endless and was constantly flying north. We were out there for over a half hour. There's over a 100 in just one photo. There may have been may more than 1000. The photo's were taken around peak low tide.
