Coming out of the supermarket a few nights ago I first heard, then saw all the birds in the trees across the road. It wasn’t the first time I had noticed them, but this time I had a bit of free time. I got my camera from the car and walked across the road to take a few pictures. It seemed like a social event in the treetops, with small groups of birds coming and going. I shot pictures for a very few minutes, and when it was almost dark they all took flight nearly at once, as if on signal.
They quickly settled in the cattails of a water containment area by the supermarket parking lot. It looked like that was their nesting ground for the night. I haven’t been back to see if they are still there – would be interesting to see how long they stay.
