Hell Yea!

Thats only about 1% of them in the area. We are over run by those Sky Devil's! WE call them Sky Devil's because they area very very smart birds and a eating machine. We have flocks with as much as 10,000 birds working in one area in the marsh. when they all take off at once it sounds like a 747 taking off at a airport with all their wings flaping at the same time. You can here that sound from 2 miles away.

1 more image. This aint nothing....there are flocks 10 times as big in some areas

Back around Christmas I was on Highway 61 down the MS Delta, when we spotted what looked like a mammoth flock of blackbirds, one of those strings that goes on for miles. I kept looking and realized they weren't blackbirds, but Canada geese. We pulled over and stared in amazement. Never saw anything like it. I would estimate tens of thousands. They stretched north and south as far as the eye could see, in a flock perhaps a half-mile wide. Then while we were watching, they started splitting up into dozens of huge v-formations--talking about just the portion of the flock that was directly over us. Easily the most awesome spectacle of wild animals I've ever seen. The cacophony of honking was unbelievable. Didn't have a camera. :-(
