Birds, Birds, and More Birds!

I am so amazed every year at this time at the migration of birds. You can see several starlings for instance in your yard at any one time. During migration you might see hundreds! Now how in the world did they all get together. Do they start with just a few, then go yard to yard to pick up more followers, and so on till the numbers reach into the hundreds???
At any rate it's mind boggling.
On this particular day these birds were in the trees next to our property, making a terrible racket. They seemed to be all Red-winged Blackbirds. There were far more than is shown here.

Coming in for a landing.

Yesterday morning at 07:15. A sign of things to come!

We spotted these Starlings on a dirt road. Again there were hundreds of them. There didn't appear to be anything on the road for them to eat. Wonder why they were there?

A car passed by, and they all flew into a yard only to return later to the road.

In the trees, on the wires, and in the air. Alfred Hitchcock eat your heart out!

Here they are in someones front yard. Be careful where you step!

OK, enough for the birds! It's going to be a yucky day for sure. Right now it's 48º and raining. Snow on the way. Have a wonderful day all.
