Sun Birds

It was too clear on Monte Sano today so here's another one from yesterday.  

I don't really look through the viewfinder when I'm shooting straight at the Sun.  I just sort of glance to see where it is in the frame, make sure the tripod is level and shoot.  (I shoot jpegs and I bracket almost everything.)  Anyway, I'm usually surprised when I catch a flock of birds in the exposure so this is purely a happy accident.  There's a second flock in the lower left -- in the shadows.  I don't know if it will hold up to the various routines of the internet.
