One of the more amazing things I've ever witnessed! I shot a brief video of this Starling Air Dance (as I'm calling it) on Thanksgiving in Healdsburg. Wonder who does the choreography?
Any of you ever seen such a graceful display of aeroballet?
(That's STARLING, Tasha, NOT "SKYRAT"!) ; )
I used to watch that near every time I swam at that pond in Ramona. Before dusk I would do the backstroke just to watch. I was not sure what birds but knew there were many startlings, cowbirds and redwinged blackbirds around when the show began. I never realized what rare moments those were. AND now I see less of those birds in open spaces with water and more startlings at the mall begging for food.
