Never seen any thing like this in my life.....pic

Cool. Never seen that many together either.

Black birds? My fondest memory is Texas, i think it was fall, seemed like thousands were eating the marginal bird seed i had for the finches. Whiled away the evening popping them with a pellet gun. Every now and then I would send the dogs out to scatter them. Finally went in to eat dinner. Looking out the window and all of a sudden thousands went in every direction...except one. a hawk came down with the sun on his tailfeathers and caught him a dinner.

Flew off with that thing in his talons.

Was one of the coolest things I ever saw.

Send one of those robots out there with a bag of bread and see what happens.

Wow! My mother inlaw had 30-40 robins in her yard last week.

That ain't no migrating on my truck. ha

There were hundreds of the Robins in this gathering.

Oops.:o I was going to say I wouldnt park under that tree.....:D:D:D

All those robins is a sure sign that spring is very near....and a welcome site to see too. I have been seeing some the past couple days too.

Someone told them that the buffet was at your house. I hope that everyone's on the mark about spring being around the corner, I'm tired of driving in the mess. I was in Nebraska years ago and looked out in a field and something was off, but I couldn't figure out what. Finally something moved and I figured out that the field was gray instead of harvested field brown. Hundreds of Sandhill Cranes were resting in the field, it was quite a sight. My Jimmy needs washed too, same reason.

I have a half barrel of water on the deck for the squirrels and birds. It was invaded by robins one January morning and then they were gone. Have not seen them since.
