the Birds








We were overtaken Sat. by a herd of black birds. My guess is that there were thousands in this flock, and were probably heading through our area ahead of the big snow/ice storm that was north of us. It was a bit Hitchcock-esque watching them all land in the yards around us, virtually covering the ground with a mass of black, chirping, squawking movement.

Our cat was about to lose her mind watching them. She was running from window to window and twitching with energy to get out there and hunt.

Click on the photos to see them a bit larger, and you get a better idea of how many there were.
