I saw them as soon as I turned onto the beach road, just little dots in the sky. As I got closer they stopped me in my tracks.
Thousands of birds, Tree Swallows – a camera cannot capture it. I just watched a video and they just looks like ants moving across snow.
This is still an experience you must Experience!
The Gods were with me, no traffic, so I could stop in the middle of the road.
And I did and I just marveled at the beating of the wings and the swooping and the constant motion that was living and breathing.
A woman walking past me and said it really freaked her out to walk through that. I just smiled. It’s called a murmuration – doesn’t seem like a big enough word. A great gathering of swallows can’t covey the awesome beauty.
Ain’t nature grand.
I’m going back some evening this week.
I hope they will wait for me.
