The photo was taken at a candlelight vigil on Monday (June 13) held at Dr Phillips Performing Arts Centre. The photographer, who sought anonymity, noticed the flock while the names of the victims were being announced. She saw that there were exactly 49 birds in all and felt a sense about the tragedy, the CNN report said.
A 29-year-man called Omar Mateen, a US citizen of Afghan descent, carried out the massacre and was neutralised later.
The massacre saw a major political fallout with Republican presumptive candidate Donald Trump taking on President Barack Obama and Democratic pesidential candidate Hillary Clinton, accusing them of doing little to protect the US.
