We were standing in the front yard of the home we are in the process of buying, and hundreds of black birds came and landed on trees in the back yard. After several minutes of searching for food and singing, which would almost make your ears ring, they flew off. The owner told us this happens from time to time. I mentioned to him and my wife, that this would be a great blog topic. I'm pretty sure I witnessed murmuration for the first time, but don't think it will be the last according to the owner. He did say to make sure you wash your car following the visit from the birds :) I've attached a YouTube video (above) of a murmuration in Memphis, TN in 2013, and a picture (below).
