Saw this video linked on Kevin Knight's site (CHT: Kevin!) as "A chance encounter and shared moment with one of nature's greatest and most fleeting phenomena…"
Starts kinda slow (they weren't expecting the encounter they got, perhaps), and then WHAM!
Do yourself a favor: Watch it in full screen mode.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

Wow. That was pretty cool! I would love to have been there to see that. I didn’t know birds did that in such large numbers.
Now if only they had an iPhone 4S they could have captured it in 720p.
I’ve seen this once before, but not so close to the ground. It was high up.
Crebain from Dunland! (Spies of Saruman!)
I thought murmuration was the Episcopal Church’s version of Gregorian Chant.
Very cool indeed!
