It's very beautiful. Did someone count them?
Every few years, a huge flock of grackles gather in the woods behind my house in the fall. Not that big, but it's still amazing to see and experience. Just the sound and the wind of them is incredible.

I was wondering the same thing. How did they know the exact amount? I think they probably guessed? But yes amazing all the same. I've seen large groups of birds but never to that extent, not even close! It just amazed me!

Boo, that's amazing. It kind of reminds me about a few years ago friends of ours invited my wife and I to visit them in Austin, Texas and they took us to see the "Congress Bridge Bats"...I had never heard of such and what I saw was simply wild. They said it's one of Austin's main tourist attractions, approximately 1.5 million bats flying around!

WOW, that would be amazing to see! Did you take that picture? Also when you saw the bats, could you hear them as well? I bet you could hear their wings, since there were so many of them?

No, I didn't take this picture. The one's I took aren't as good.
Yes, you could hear them, both their wings flapping and the squeal they make and what else is really neat is when they start to emerge from under the bridge they come out in perfectly aligned columns.

Yes nature is amazing. Just makes me wonder what else is out there that I haven't seen yet.

In the summer go to Everett the American Legion Park there has thousands of birds that hang out. When they move it looks very much like those pictures. The noise is almost deafening.

one particulary fine morning while taking my dog on a sunrise walk a group(flock) of birds took flight out of their overnight resting place in the trees but the amazing thing to me is that they took off already in their precise V-formation for another day's journey knowing who was starting out as lead bird
kinda hard to tell who is orchestrating this masterpiece
