Happy Father's day everone!!

Each fall, thousands of starlings dance in the twilight above England and Scotland. The birds gather in shape-shifting flocks called murmurations, having migrated in the millions from Russia and Scandinavia to escape winter’s frigid bite. Scientists aren’t sure how they do it, either. The starlings' murmurations are manifestations of swarm intelligence, which in different contexts is practiced by schools of fish, swarms of bees and colonies of ants. As far as I am aware, even complex algorithmic models haven’t yet explained the starlings’ aerobatics, which rely on the tiny birds' quicksilver reaction time of under 100 milliseconds to avoid aerial collisions—and predators—in the giant flock.

Despite their tour de force in the dusky sky, starlings have declined significantly in the UK in recent years, perhaps because of a decline in suitable nesting sites. The birds still roost in several of Britain’s rural pastures, however, settling down to sleep (and chatter) after their evening ballet.

Two young ladies were out for a late afternoon canoe ride and fortunately one of them remembered to bring her video camera. What they saw was a wonderful murmuration display, caught in the short video - URL is below. Watch the variation of colour and intensity of the patterns that the birds make in proximity to one other. And take a look at the girl in the bow of the canoe watching the aerial display. Enjoy.

Happy Monday to all!

Happy Monday everyone! A bit of a hard weekedn that involved moving almost two tons of bags of concrete....PLEASE remind me to nix DH's pet projects from now on!!!!! The backyard was fine without concrete edging!!!!! And I fell off a chair onto the cement walkway pulling Virginia Creeper out of my Japanese Tree Lilac that is ailing.....I thought the vine might be choking it, although it looked pretty.....I feel very creaky this morning!

My friend turns 50 today and is out of the office for the morning, so we just decorated for him. Gorgeous pink streamers. blue balloons, etc!!!!

BTW, is anyone else getting tired of waiting for whatever exciting new thing is supposed to replace the monthly hunts? Are they just stringing us along?

Thanks so much for all the words posted.

It's been a really upsetting last couple of days. One of my best friends (been knowing over 40 years) was killed in a car accident Saturday afternoon. She was going home from work & was hit head on by a young man texting while driving and killed instantly. She had never married and lived alone so it took some time before the next of kin was found and notified. The family as well as friends are taking it really hard. Would appreciate any prayers.

Thanks

I am sorry to hear about your friend.:( It is awful that people are so careless when they drive. They really need to start enforcing laws about this kind of stuff.
