The National Weather Service in Colorado thought it was posting a picture of a swarm of birds that its radar had picked up over Denver on Tuesday, Oct. 3, when it asked the public for help in identifying them.

“Any bird experts know what kind? #ornithology,” it tweeted with a photo what looks like a blue cloud on a radar screen.
