    I was in a busy airport car park once and an enormous Murmuration like this was happening about 200 yards away. Someone yelled "Look at that" and the entire car park just stopped in silence as everyone noticed it, cars stopped, everybody just stopped. Feeling the collective wonder pass through this crowd of hot and bothered, stressed out people getting off flights made me appreciate the power that nature has to inspire wonder in us, regardless of any modern day context that removes us from it.

    The murmurations are breathtaking while the birds are in flight. Another aspect that's remarkable is when the group decides to land. I watched a murmuration a few winters ago. I could only guess how many birds were involved - thousands, no doubt, but how many thousands I really couldn't say. When they landed on a field they literally turned the field black. There seemed to be not a spare inch of space.

    This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed. A few years ago I worked at at this place out by some fields. Sometimes where I would park for lunch a much smaller flock of these birds would come and dance in the sky like this while I was eating. It was probably about a hundred to two hundred birds. It was a magnificent sight. 🤩
    Then one day, a month or so after I stopped working there I was sitting in my chair and I heard quite a racket outside. I was like, what the heck is that?!
    So I went outside and there were 100 to 200 starlings in all the trees surrounding my building, just a chattering away... It was LOUD. Very very LOUD. 😳 😂
    Flitting from one tree to another. This lasted about 15 minutes or so, and then one of them took off to the south, and the rest followed. Which also was an amazing sight. 🤩
    They have visited more than a few times. I haven't seen them since early spring this year. It seems they stop in to say hello in the spring and fall. So hope to see them again this year.
    But things change, so there is just no telling. 🤷‍♀️

  • @cuteblancaestrella
    @cuteblancaestrella 2 года назад +156

    Starlings are amazing and their "Murmurations" is still a mystery on why they do it.
    Their recreations reveal that starlings maintain their fluid formations via a mechanism known as scale-free behavioral correlation, in which each bird positions itself next to approximately seven other birds, coordinating its movements to create an overlapping synchronicity.
    Although each bird is interacting with its nearby neighbors, every bird’s movements affects and are affected by the entire group, allowing information to travel across the flock at a constant speed. The result is collective decision-making so agile that a signal to turn, usually initiated by a bird on the outskirts, can flash through a flock of 400 birds in half a second-a speed of 90 miles per hour.

    This happens in Denmark (SW Jutland) every year as well, the starlings gather in the hundreds of thousands or even millions in the Wadden Sea area before starting their migrations north/south (They do it both in the spring and fall). While they're here eating for a while they'll do those "dances" that we call "sort sol" (Black sun) which attracts a lot of people since it's so cool/strange. :)

    It's choreography that has been rehearsed many times. In Mobile, Alabama area off I-10 to New Orleans I saw a great many flocks in the millions but I was most impressed in Dec 1982 when I saw the record number estimating 9M. What was also interesting was that every bird moved in nearly a straight line flying for 3.5 hrs covering aleast 100 miles and every bird was spaced one behind the other and the same spacing across about a football field width. Not one out of place. I naturally called it in to national geographic as the flew froGA. Copper cable plant in Watkinsville, GA towards Athens, Ga.

    Saw Starlings fly like this at dusk at Lipson Cove Conservation Park on the east cost of the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. Took several videos - not as clear as this one but bloody awesome to see this occurrence on two seperate nights. When they arrived one night there was no wind and the flocks didn’t join up and just flew straight to the island where they landed for the night.

    My girlfriend and I went for a trip to Gettysburg PA. On the drive there, we stopped at a Dairy Queen. While at the Dairy Queen, we looked up in the sky and saw starlings flying like in the video. It was a strange, but fascinating sight to see. We watched for about 20 minutes before continuing on our journey.

    Omg, I’ve been hearing them around my workplace. I live in Mentor, Ohio, an eastern suburb of Cleveland. I’ve lived here most of my life and have never heard crows like what I have heard within the last 3 weeks. The weather has been -16 to 68 and I wonder if the weather is confusing them. We are a big suburb having the Metroparks, suburban life and the in between.

    I had an epiphany out on the water today in my boat while watching a murmuration….it’s God’s visual representation of what human consciousness is. Words and science consistently fall short when trying to explain that phenomenon. A murmuration captures it perfectly without saying a word. Thanks, God
