More Birds

I'm pretty sure these starlings are what briefly invaded our neighborhood. You can see their "swarms" all over around here. Usually you see them flying around like this or covering miles of power lines. I had never seen them stop in our neighborhood before.

I keep telling you, this isn't "a few birds!"

I was drawn to our front window because it seemed as if the sun had suddenly gone behind a large dark cloud. It was no cloud. There were thousands of them. Maybe tens of thousands. They stretched on as far as I could see up and down the street. On houses. In yards. Daring me to step outside. I was too unnerved to do anything more than snap a few quick photos through a partially opened front door.

And then they were gone.
