      It always amazes me that they don't run into each other.

      You should put a stocking cap on one and say, "Where's Waldo?".

      Jon, that is an amazing shot. We had less than 1,000 black birds on the Christmas count this year. Normally we have 20,000 to 30,000. I guess they are all visiting you.

      Okay, this is the stuff of nightmares........I've always loved birds.....even as a kid since my parents and grandparents always had bird feeders and we'd watch the birds. My appreciation came young. Then I saw "The Birds"......still loved birds, but large numbers reminded me of the movie.....and this? YIKES!! Great shot, though.......how did you focus? ; )
