About 4:00 yesterday afternoon, I watched a murmuration of STARLINGS in Marysville, WA for nearly 30 minutes. It started with a flock of probably 50 birds, but smaller groups kept coming and joining in until their must have been 600+ birds. Except on video, I've never seen this magical phemomenon. To use a hackneyed adjective, it was absolutely awesome. What are they doing? It seems that scientists really don't know. Looked to me like they were just having fun!
