Monte:

I think the diagonal panning to parallel the direction of flight is very effective here.
The two right hand birds work very well for me because they blurred in a clear sort of way:) Meaning they aren't merging too much with the background, or even overlapping their own wings, etc.
The far left one doesn't work quite as well for me.

I might think about a version with just the two on the right.

Well seen and captured!

cheers
