The birds are starting to head south from here. The swans and geese don’t go far. I think the herons just fo upriver to find open water. The big flocks of starlings are strting to gather now too.
When we lived on the farm, a flock of starlings arrived. I got my video camera, and taped until my battery went dead, over ten minutes, (old video camera) and they were still flying by. I never saw anything like it in my life. Amazing!
