this is a video that i took with my phone on my walk with Rocket last evening...there is a MASSIVE amount of black birds that pass through where i live every fall/winter...a constant stream coming from the north, heading south...they sometimes stop to congregate in the nearby fields & trees...this swarm that i caught yesterday was crazy! it's mesmerizing to watch...almost creepy...then u can hear my nearby nut job neighbor shooting off his rifle in the distance...reminds me of Steel Magnolias! ~lol~
i'll admit, the amount of poop on our cars this time of year is insane...but as u can see, the gunfire doesn't phase the birds...they're gonna do what they're gonna do - migrate...the kiddos think it's cool - when they're flying overhead, & you clap loudly, they bolt out in 2 directions...the flock parts in a straight line, right down the middle...again, a very neat thing to watch

That's crazy! I think I'd carry an umbrella on my walk though, in case they passed overhead!
Wow, that's pretty...interesting. And you were right, sort of creepy!
Do they make a lot of noise?
haha Jen - even tho they do fly overhead a LOT, only once has someone gotten splatted...Jaden got hit on the shoulder last year...we all laughed & he got mad ;0)
Sheila - they do when they're flying overhead...not enuff to hear it from inside, but it's kinda freaky when u're outside & the flock goes over...u can also hear them chirping away in the distance when they're all parked in trees too
wow..that's crazy!
