You will notice I said "black birds," and not blackbirds. These are starlings. And like starlings always do, they swoop in by the hoard. I tried to count and there are something over 130 birds on these trees.
And soon after they swoop in, they swoop out!
In other news: I was at a local store all day with my books. I didn't have great sales expectations, but I sold one book and visited with several people. I took my computer and got quite a bit of editing done. I'm surprisingly tired. Tough crunchies! Tomorrow I go to Traverse City for the Women's Expo. At least my back has stopped hurting from the shoveling day.

I've had my yard filled with starlings before. Where there is one there is a hundred other. I like the sky behind the tree in the second picture.
It is common, in late summer, for a murmuration of young starlings to descend on our lawn. They carefully scour each inch for food. It doesn't take long because of their numbers. Then they are gone.
