The Birds

Here’s our resident blackbird flock, rehearsing winged maneuvers in preparation for their annual migration south…..

Sept 11 (1) They look a bit spooky to me, conjuring images of Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, which I saw when I was a kid.  Yikes---that movie scared the ____ out of me and forever influenced my opinion of seagulls!

I was very impressed with that movie...still am!

Great shot.

I will have to keep my eye out here for them. I'm sure they will be arriving in mass numbers in the next few weeks! They hang out all winter and eat the chicken food from the coop!

Guess I will have to sit and watch the movie.
