A murmuration of starlings in the corn fields:
The geese were gathered in tremendous numbers on the alfalfa field when we got there. All of a sudden, a blast-off larger than any we'd seen that day occurred:
The numbers of birds here is simply beyond comprehension.
I'm doing a project now which I needed some real numbers, so I actually counted the birds visible in the above shots. There are over
1500 starlings in that little ball, and over
6000(!) snow geese in the next picture.
Just unbelievable.
