Here is a thread relating to a number of flocks of probably geese both in flight and on water in northern Illinois.

Ive been keeping my eyes open for them and other wildlife since I spotted the MN ones but having no luck so far.

A HUGE "V" of geese heading south in Arkansas!
Its so long on one side its more like a checkmark than a V.

Awesome find! To be able to resolve single birds from outer space! Incredible!

A LINK to a flock of gulls near Levittown, N.Y. Not in flight or formation, but all of those white specs on the water next to the landfill have to be gulls.

The new images are pretty amazing rez. Im not positive on this but it "looks" just like a bird with roughly a 4' wingspan flying between some cows. Or a perfectly shaped and located piece of dust on the lens of the camera.

These ducks have either just taken off or just landed. Hard to tell. If it is the former, then do they count as "birds in flight" by implication? :-)
