As I stood with my eyes uplifted, a flock of the palace pigeons circled above the gardens.

A flock of vultures was circling above the trail, right over the spot where the priests were gathered.

A flock of pure white doves circled far above, cooing to one another in the warm sunshine.

Finally the whole flock, still silent, took off and circled toward the chute.

The flock slowed and circled to meet the oncoming black tide.

Laundry fluttered in a slight breeze while a flock of birds circled.

Moving as one, the flocks circled Neskaya and rose skyward.

Bodies lay everywhere, and though the smoke was gone now, great flocks of crows circled in the sky.

A flock circled above him.

A flock of buzzards circled just as lazily on the opposite horizon, undisturbed by the mounting chaos a few thousand yards away.
