I am a birder myself, with a special interest in starlings, which is what originally brought your blog to my attention. Thank you very much for this great pleasure.

It was one of the most read of the books we shared with a group we camped with for a number of years.

Birds and flocking phenomenon are so fascinating, as is the human reaction. Some sailors hate the lowly seagull but for someone who has just crossed and ocean, faced isolation for days on end, the sight of a flock of gulls is an incredible lift, like coming home and seeing the candle burning on the window ledge.
Then we have those that don’t compare to behaviour of the masses. Most famous of these are the lonely albatross, roaming the oceans mile after mile, apparently solo, and made known through that wonderful poem, Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.

Thanks for the excellent links too. I’ve sat at 14th st. Tom’s parking lot countless times watching the flocks of birds swoop in the sunset.
