Citations for murmuration
They'd whirl and wheel in the sky, turning fast and coming around, blackening as they blocked the light and then spreading out and thinning as they changed direction in long sweeps. A murmuration ; that's what it's called.
A murmuration. Not the rarest of sights, but always breathtaking. The birds moved as a single entity, like a giant shape-shifter, a cloud that swelled and shrank as they flew--wheeling, soaring, rising, and falling like dark liquid.
