It was really wierd, I saw them out of the south window comingover the trees at first,they actually blocked the light coming in the window, then they all settled here on the west side of the house.These stayed about a minute and then another wave just as big came in from the same direction.

They’re Starlings. The color of the beaks change between summer and winter. They normally flock this time of year, are quite gregarious and can de-fruit a pear or cherry tree in about 30 seconds. Voracious. Not a bad bird though.

The tail is too long for starlings. They're almost certainly Brewer's blackbirds.
I say "almost" because sometimes rusty blackbirds flock in winter (as do Brewer's).
However, rusty blackbirds are somewhat rare and prefer swampy areas in winter. Brewer's congregate in huge numbers in open areas.
