Went out side early this morning to take a few things to the recycle bin and I heard this noise. Last evening while I was away a huge flock of starlings moved into the woods behind the house. As I sat waiting for lift off you could hear their bird calls getting louder and louder then just before liftoff all became quiet and then a great rush of the sound of their wings as they launched. I know starlings have a well deserved reputation as a nuisance bird, but the whole experience was pretty exciting.
