By Uncle Dave Sunday June 25, 2006

This isn’t as exciting as some of the past videos, but it sure is damn interesting for some reason.

Many states have Bounties on certain animals, INCLUDING starlings..

Looks like about $1000 bounty there

I was half-expecting to see the frame blotted out by a white mass and turn dark at the end.

I gotta wonder what caused them to swarm like that — flocking behavior, sure, but what was the attraction of those two trees?

I have seen starlings flock like that many times. I haven’t detected any pattern as to why they pick certain trees. One year, a HUGE swarm of them were roosting around my ma-in-law’s house. About three years later, they returned again for a few days.
