Run Tippi Hedren! Run!



For the past couple of years, on one day in October, we have been visited by thousands of birds. They suddenly appear en masse and swoop down into the neighborhood to dine on their way south for about an hour. It is eerie like a horror movie. We have seen neighbors fleeing with their dogs, squirrels spinning and heard cawing like a bird orchestra. It is amazing when thousands literally circle the house. This video was shot right as they were moving up the street, so we missed the densest part, but you will get the idea. Enjoy.

Oh my goodness, Katie! I had the same experience in my backyard 2 days ago! Their noise was deafening! Uncle John wasn't home at the time and when I told him how many there were I think he thought I was exaggerating! Well, Katie, you'll just have to tell him it's true!!! xoxox
