2/16/2006: Migrating starlings at sunset

I saw a very, very scaled-down version of this on the way home last night...only a couple of thousand as opposed to a few hundred thousand. It did, however, cause me to spontaneously work up a verbal outline (to the wife, who was driving) of a Neo-Con children's story about Stevie Starling, a rebellious little Starling who refused to fly with the flock, and froze to death all alone in the winter.

The real heroine of the story is Sally Starling, who went along with the gazillions of other birdies, and earned the respect of her peers by supporting traditional bird family values because she raised her young to follow the flock, and so on, and so on...
