There Were Several Hundred Blackbirds In That Flock
Author: siggyThere were several hundred blackbirds in that flock. They were in the sky flying en mass. They were tightly grouped and flying together not changing the distance between them much; thus flying as a mass. I have no idea where they are migrating from or where they are going. I just notice them coming through this area twice a year–fall and spring. They are small blackbirds. Sometimes they will stay in the area a day or two. I just marvel how they keep so close together when they fly as a flock. They are just a (???) one of many mysteries of nature to me.
