Black Birds
 

I heard this almost helicopter like sound outside and look up to see hundreds of black birds. This camera only got a small portion of them. There could be well over 1000 of them in this flock.

That's a lot of birds there Robert. I hope that they are eating plenty of weed seeds and supplying you with some free fertilizer.

I wouldn't walk out there just in case they decide that they are there to carry you or your Mrs. away.

It's creepy how they do this sometimes....

Freaky! I been up by Petaluma where " the birds" was filmed. The place hasn't changed at all. The house is museum now. Pics could be start of a B movie.:lol:.

It is an experience that you don't forget. They act in unison - when a few fly away they suddenly all do.

Crazy headed this way probably.

Yes, I saw a sign on one of them "Worthbound 2017"

What kind of trees are those Salt?

It reminds me of a Stephen King book called [I]The Dark Half[/I]. The book's main character is haunted by his ghost twin brother, who is always accompanied by thousands of sparrows. I'm sure Stephen King was influenced by Hitchcock's [I]The Birds[/I].

They are oak trees, and more acorns than I've ever seen here.

I had totally forgotten that I used to sing that ditty when I was still a kid, which I once was.;)

Good memories Dust,thanks.

Autonomously paradoxical.:yes:

You know, I think those black birds knew the weather was about to change. I haven't seen a single one since that day.

I saw some in the woods at my house.:lol:
