I wonder if it's possible this sighting could have been Tree Swallows. They
might look like female Purple martins if high up in sky. A large group of Tree
Swallows was seen near Columbus couple days ago and photographed I believe.

Subject: Re: BirdWire: Goose Facts You Might Not Know
Last Thursday on the Pascagoula River I had a birding experience I'd not had
before. Hearing birds I looked up to see more birds than I had ever seen before
at one time. The sky to the west was filled with, not hundreds, but thousands
of birds swirling like smoke from a vast forest fire, then moving with near
simultaneity the way a shoal of fish changes direction. (Aside: a physicist
once publish a paper on how fish do this titled "Fish Are Fermions".)
Inspection with binoculars showed that the birds were all, in so far as I could
tell, purple martins. Indeed, they were all female purple martins.
Are any of you familiar with this phenomenon?
Grayson
