The Birds!

The Birds are coming! The Birds are coming!

These photos are of the "Black Cloud", as the Denmark locals call it. Every year hundreds of birds flock in beautiful formations all over the sky.







This is a nifty video of a huge flock of European Starlings flying around the sky. The entire flock repeatedly tries to land on the same tree and nearly brings it to the ground.





From BoingBoing: Birds from Huntington Beach, Californa have been acting crazy; flying around confused, running into cars and buildings, and even pecking eight humans. It turns out the birds are infected with domoic acid poisoning, the same illness that may have caused the 1961 northern California bird invasion that inspired Hithcock.
