6/19/2006: Sparrow flocks in Denmark - Page 2

Stonan · 06-19-2006, 08:30 PM

Wasn't able to find a pic but here in Vacouver at the begining of dusk you can see a murder of crows about the same width in the sky as shown here but the 'flock' stretches from downtown to the suburb of Burnaby (approx 15 miles). It happens every evening as sort of a mini-migration from the parks and docks to a bird sanctuary. (Located right next to the largest McDonalds in the Lower Mainland!)

Better have an umbrella is all I can say......

I swear this was an IOTD before, or somebody posted it in Quality Images.

Hmm...

zippyt · 06-19-2006, 09:44 PM

It was , but it is STILL a cool pic

There are swifts that live in my parents' country house chimneys that occasionally do stuff like this.

It's pictures of semi-naked men real close to each other. Oops.

It's performance art, lots of plastic as well, meant to explore the relationship between spider and fly. See, I read the text as well, not just looked at the pictures

Sparrows attack one single tree and almost destroy it

This is one of the top stories on digg right now.

This guy lives right near me although I can't tell exactly where by the identical mcmansions

That is a great example of the Universal Mind at work.

Cool.

Happy Monkey · 06-25-2006, 12:30 PM

Starlings are a lot bigger than sparrows, but still - that's a lot of starlings!

Undertoad · 06-25-2006, 12:33 PM

Starlings. Yes.
