Luciano Tsiros was surprised to find a flock of birds in his supermoon photos. “I found out about the birds only when I loaded the memory card in my computer to work on the pictures,” Tsiros said. “Since the Moon was pretty high and shutter speed was at 1/1000th of a second the chances of taking this kind of picture on purpose are pretty slim.”
