Yesterday afternoon I was in the basement in my sewing room pulling things together to teach my Institute class. I heard a strange noise and checked my laptop to be sure nothing was happening with it. Then I realized it was coming from outside.
My blinds have been closed to keep out some of the cold air. I lifted one slat and looked out between the blinds. Oh my goodness, what a sight. The air and ground were filled with hundreds and hundreds of birds. Everyone one of them had a part in whatever conversation they were having. I did notice one lone black bird standing on the ground with a very stunned look on his face. Black birds are bigger and tend to get their way in the bird kingdom in our back yard. Not yesterday.
I grabbed my cell phone and hurried to the back door to see if I could get some kind of photographic evidence of this wonder.
The birds were literally covering the ground and filling the air when I quietly opened the door. As soon as they saw me they took to the air. This was the tail end of this enormous flock of birds. It was absolutely amazing.
