I stepped outside into my front yard this morning to see and hear the wing beats of a huge murmuration of E. STARLINGS undulating in the sky between tall, bare perching trees and the many Cedar trees laden with blue berries. The birds would eat for a few minutes then some unknown-to-me trigger would signal them to fly off again in a huge group, to the perch trees. Then in a minute they would be aloft again, and back in the Cedars eating the berries.
The Cedars are packed with their blue berries this year, but will soon be de-nuded, if this invasion keeps up! Donna L.
