Their flight reminded me of giant snowflakes, blowing along with the wind-driven snow.  Truly a beautiful sight.  There were other, larger dark birds among them, but couldn't make an ID.

Marty Cribb reported some (I can't remember the number that Patty quoted) near Rt. 5 and Cornfield Harbor Road.
