Even though I'm not a huge fan of Red-winged Blackbirds or Grackles it was still a sight to be seen. Stick it out for the whole two minutes to really get the sense of what it was like. Here's the video:

Now that is what I call a flock of birds. A little eerie though ~ kind of like Hitchcock's "The Birds". ;-)
