My cousin sent me this video. This autumn I seem to be seeing a larger number of European Starlings amassing that I recall seeing in recent prior autumns. Of course, I am hoping that a murmuration occurs. So far, no luck.
“It’s the season I often mistake / Birds for leaves, and leaves for birds,” the U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón writes of autumn. In fall, a flocking movement in the sky, or in the trees, can mean either kind of marvelous flying thing.
