Murmurous in a sentence as an adjective

Like picking a random phrase from the article "including the sandpipers whose murmurous flocks contain more than a little of the transcendental" - murmorous flocks evokes a large number of birds making a noise, the art is in the use of words to evoke a feeling and a picture. I think its designed to be read more slowly and thought about a lot more than you would a usual article - an experience to be savoured with a fine wine on a Sunday afternoon, rather than something to read on the way to work on the train.
