Hi Everyone<br>
Many replies mentioned the calling. The calling was very unusual and it
was what caught my attention. I remarked on it to the people with me.
So I am going to go with the Sandhill Crane suggestion. Thanks so much
for all the help. Lance thanks you too, I'm sure.<br>

These were Pelicans. Wonderful flyers & "circlers" once they become
airborne.<br>

<blockquote type="cite" class="cite" cite="">Hi everyone<br>
I was in Alberta this month and the day I was leaving I saw a huge
(maybe hundreds) flock of birds circling overhead. I did not get a
close look ( My binoculars were packed and they were injured, probably
fatally, by Air Canada in my flight out, ) so I can only describe their
behaviour. These were large birds with a wide wing span, they circled
around each other like a flock of sandpipers in migration. They called
but I can't describe that. Many swans and geese flocks had been
migrating in the previous days. The flock stayed in the same area just
circling and reforming. I can't discount gulls although I have never
seen gulls do this. <br>
I would appreciate any comments. <br>
i know it's not NS related but many list subscribers are great
travellers. Thanks for all the replies. <br>
