I've been seeing more and more trees filled with birds lately, I guess it's that time of the year. The other day it was all crows, now those guys can be creepy.<br /><br />Hope you had a great holiday weekend, I took off for a few days and got way behind on my comments.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-48888848613085733392010-01-05T00:41:10.204-06:002010-01-05T00:41:10.204-06:00Ratty, you know I love birds however these do remi...Ratty, you know I love birds however these do remind me of the movie and are a little too freaky :) Great photos though.Joanne Olivierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856998108256408734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-39724601535104005412010-01-04T20:52:23.285-06:002010-01-04T20:52:23.285-06:00I'm glad I don't have that many here!

I was outside at work a few weeks ago and a flock of birds swooped over my head. The sound of their rushing wings was delicious.<br /><br />Happy Monday, Ratty!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-69243064965801456772010-01-04T10:12:03.336-06:002010-01-04T10:12:03.336-06:00We have starlings in the uk and they always flock ...We have starlings in the uk and they always flock like this....they are great in the summer as they eat all the ants but in the winter they are quite pushy with the smaller birds so they can get to the food first!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-32309513556541967382010-01-04T08:41:02.728-06:002010-01-04T08:41:02.728-06:00These mynas or startlings always stay in a large f...These mynas or startlings always stay in a large flock.

Makes sense to me. I'll bet some bird species are more sociable then others, like some people, and enjoy each others company.
