The flock effect!
There’s something mesmerizing about birds gathered together: a living tapestry of movement that feels bigger than the sum of its parts. This gallery captures the magic of flocks, from tiny sandpipers scuttling in unison along the shore, to dinosauric pelicans gliding powerfully above the surf. Watch vast clouds of Snow Geese ruffle the waters of the California Delta, crisp black-and-white terns skim above San Francisco’s Crissy Field, and a roiling wave of Sooty Shearwaters darken the sky as they gather along the Pacific coast in the thousands. Together, these pictures reveal social bonds, community, and the breathtaking choreography that unfolds when birds come together.
