Subject: [MDBirding] large formation of migrating mystery birds


I saw an interesting formation of large birds flying in a loose wide V
south down the Patuxent River around 530 pm near the rt 4 (wayson's corner)
bridge today Anne Arundel/ Pg County line.
I counted about 30 birds no long necks or legs. Brown and white coloring
way up in the sky- could have been the jaegers?? Do gannets fly in
formation?
They did have a gull like shape but they flew slowly in a very defined
formation. Please tell me if you saw this group of birds or could help me
with id. Maybe folks saw them as they flew down river.
