Air Trafic Control sleeping on the job...again!
Mary MacADNski: Hundreds of birds were in the sky filling up on some kind of fly that just hatched. What looks like dirt on the lens is actually the flies.
Were they just soaring around - or performing some little territorial dance? It's a great photo of them!

I bet they never collide however close they appear to get Mary
Mary MacADNski: Unless they are after the very same fly. Hundreds of birds were in the sky filling up on some kind of fly that just hatched. What looks like dirt on the lens is actually the flies.

Fine shot, Mary - I assume that, in fact, one was far enough above the other smile
Mary MacADNski: They were close enough.
A near miss I think Mary. Wonderful picture.

Fascinating birds, even if they are unpopular with some people.
Mary MacADNski: Only a myth. LOL I know it's true but I tease Bill about it.
Oops, bit of a mid-air collision.
Mary MacADNski: Luckily not!
Its an art to catch birds on the wing..and you did well Mary.
Mary MacADNski: This was a lucky catch. I got 30 bad ones.
