Very impressive. My only nits: the almost out of frame bird on right, and the two intersecting birds lower center. Focus and detail are great. That said, it is a great shot. Isn't it a "Knot of knots?"

Your flight shots never cease to amaze me. I like the individual bird.....but I especially love the flock shots. I think it's really hard to get a good one that shows separation....and detail. You really have a winner with this one!!!
