Starling mumuration video

Starling mumuration video

Postby Alston Neal » Jul 11 2012 10:28 am

A friend sent me this and I got the shivers. This is way cool and I would have given anything to be where these ladies were.
The video starts out with stills, then goes into motion. The music is perfect.
Enjoy..

Now that's bird watching.
This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

you both and my Uncle Bud who said to me as we were walking by the elephants at the Phx Zoo, "I wonder how many shots it would take to down him?" or something to that effect. :o I'll never forget that as I looked over to the little children who fortunately didn't hear him say that [-( .
For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled.

Pretty cool. The first time I saw birds to that I was standing with my daughter and then-boyfriend-now-husband across the street from the capital building in Rome. Didn't have a clue of what to make of it, the birds were way high up and it looked other-worldly. I did know I wasn't in Kansas anymore tho.

@Alston Neal

There were enough birds in that video to keep the spicy cats fed for years!! And with the shotgun rounds you were referring to, they could have BBQ'd them...

@PLC92084It took you 24 hours to finally hit it. You're either slowing down, have a life, or showing more restraint.. :sl:
