Beautiful, beautiful things.
I would love to see an murmurration. The choreography is incredible.
There was a very interesting segment on the German TV show Galileo last night explaining why and how starlings pull off their murmurations without piling up in massive midair collisions. As the note with picture #4 says, each bird communicates with the nearest others (Galileo said 5, rather than 6 or 7) to move as a unit, and the others move to accommodate the group. I didn't quite understand how it all works, but it's fascinating.
I'd like to know the story behind the wheel in the tree.
Lots of big 'uns and good 'uns today.
Some gorgeously massive trees in this post!
Sue - Starlings migrate through St. Louis twice a year. They hang out for about two weeks. I get to see lots of murmurations. Fun to see but I'm glad to see them leave. They poop all over everything.
Bill - Was that a murmuration on January 6th? I know it was a bunch of bird brains.
River - I don't know where that came from. Google Images can't find it. Not even on my post today! It looks like someone bent a young sapling around the tire a long time ago.
Kathy - I wonder how high up the guy in #3 is.
Deb - You snuck in there while I was typing. And yes, quite a few big ones today.
Wow! Some beautiful images. And some of those trees are huge.
Martha - Some are probably 200 feet+ tall.
