I was IFR out in the GOM, 100'ish miles offshore at 6,000ft in a SK-92. Flew out of a cloud and right before we were back in the clouds, saw a flock of birds.  Daytime, normal lights for offshore were on.  Did a little quick manuevering to avoid them. 

We're in their environment.  Keep your scan going is all you can do.
