Someone else mentioned that movie The Birds. I can't look at a huge flock in quite the same way since seeing it...<br /><br />I just got the shivers. lol<br /><br />I remember once when I was living in the foothills, I came outside and there, atop the line of eucalyptus trees that bordered the property, were several birds lined up. They were huge vultures. And I ran inside! lol<br /><br />Thanks for sharing; and for visiting my blog. Enjoy your weekend, and watch out for the birds!Laurel-Rain Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101090217639410913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779338627192492408.post-6610408339702397192012-05-27T06:01:36.760-04:002012-05-27T06:01:36.760-04:00That's quite a flock.
