It's fascinating how they stay together - land together - take off together - fly, land, change direction as one - in perfect harmony. Who teaches them all this magic? It's impossible to pick out a leader but there must be one - don't you think?
Another thing to notice about these birds is that every one is the same size. For that matter, it seems like every bird of any one type is the same size as every other. Why is this? We have tall people and short people - fat people and skinny people. Why aren't birds like that? It seems they immediately get to full size and stay there for the rest of their lives. Strange.
I love birds. My feeders are out. I've got my eye out for the damned squirrels.
