Blackbirds and owls

[tagryn]

When I opened the door to our house there was a huge sound of squawking in the air: a huge flock of blackbirds had settled in the trees all around our house. Saw other large flocks throughout the morning. I remember seeing these "flocks that block out the sky" a fair amount growing up in SE PA, but they gradually became rarer and rarer as the area was built up. Its nice to see them again, perhaps one of the benefits of living near a state forest.

I also heard two owls hooting at one another in our cul-de-sac last night. Neat!
