When I was on my front porch yesterday, there was quite a squawking going on
with all the house sparrows and other usual feeder birds.

I've been watching starlings wheeling around in their swarm mode directly
over the Vet Tower right around 5pm each night as I head home. Really fantastic

can see them after you pass the Dairy Bar intersection.

a long while they stream into a tower, what I presume is a chimney, in one
fell swoop. Like reverse smoke. Not at all the way Chimney Swifts enter.
Larry and I watched this several times last year. Fascinating.
