The birds picked up en masse & flew around & around only settling down again after the blimp had passed. Pelicans, cormorants, great blue herons, shorebirds, gulls, & ducks were all in the flocks giving this response. A plane flying over at that altitude would not cause such a flight I am sure. However, on Dec. 28 (the I didn't write it up at the time), a similar flight including masses of ducks & geese occurred when a rocket was fired from the guided missile center here.
