Turn left popper cross with me 2.4 left. The other down the runway, a large flock of blackbirds. They're kind of now circling back. Looks like they're back kind of over the runway. Maybe off the left just a little bit. 349, Roger, Texas departing via Lima, Julia at 4. 633? If I had to guess, there were probably 60 plus birds. Intercite 1918, use caution. Previous aircraft reported birds around midfield, probably around the Gulf 3, around 60 plus blackbirds. Two for it. Two for it. Two for a late. United third and a point, thanks. Roger. No one else in the jump zone except your company.
