A Murmuration of Starlings

This is a fantastic short video of a pulsing ribbon of starlings, the reward for two women out paddling a canoe on a blustery day. It's given me an idea for a scene in a novel, which makes it a two-fer. The only thing I've ever seen that is even close to this was watching over a million bats leave at sundown from under the Congress Street bridge.

Gluten-free girl turned me on to this one!
