Millionth Murmuration

I know we've all seen murmurations before, but this is one of the better ones:

Just to kill the mood: do you think there's any chance they didn't get pooped on?

  1. Everyone's seen these? This is new to me. I thought those things were bats at first.

  2. I've seen them on video (not in person), but this is probably the best I've seen. I wish I had been there, it would have felt so surreal.
    Especially the surreal amount of poop with which they probably were awash.
    Seriously, though, it's crazy even watching it on video. It seems so out of control, even with such well-defined borders, that I would be both breathtakenly amazed and scared it would come right for me at the same time, like a rapidly moving and unpredictable killer cloud.
    Do you know where this was taken Julia?

  3. They're on the River Shannon in Ireland, just to make things ridiculously romantic. I'm surprised you haven't seen this Zicheng, I could swear you had a Field-Biologist-Specializing-In-Murmuration phase somewhere in the 2001 era.

  4. But also the starlings do that here, somewhat... I remember allie and i at our bus stop in whitevale every fall would see them murmuring by for minutes on end. i guess they only do it in cute settings.
