@Craiger: I love the sound of their wings and squawking! That many make quite a racket!

@Richard_Irwin: I've been lucky enough to be close enough for this a couple of times, it's especially beautiful when they circle over your head!

@Betsy Barron : www.thebetsy.com: I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one! They are always in this area because of the reservoir and the Delaware River so near - and an abundance of farm fields. To find them so close to the road is rare! Thanks for your comments!

It's a cacophony of birds! What a stupendous capture! The chaos of it just makes it amazing!
