That is stunningly beautiful.. I've never seen that many starlings together. Wow. :o

Thousands of birds just flew 5 feet over their heads. wish I could've been there..

Me too. Just seeing that would have rendered me unconscious I think.

Amazing.I've always loved watching birds fly and watching for migrating flocks,love hearing the geese go over and hearing them,but I have never seen anything that incredible.

I have seen this in a very small scale here in rural Indiana but never thought anything of it at the time, but what these girls experienced is a whole different level of amazing than anything I have ever experienced in nature.
