I saw a flock that was a couple hundred birds!

Many years ago, a large flock came to my beetle infested trees and ate all the bugs, never had a problem with the beetles again. It took them a couple weeks so I was able to watch them interacting a lot. The mating dance is so cute you'd think it was straight out of a cute cartoon.

They've visited this and neighboring trees the past years 'this week,' but missed them last year.

These handsome little birds used to gather in the tree outside my bedroom window. I don’t see them around here any more.

Had no trees outside my bedroom window(s) as a child, but NOW, only ONE wall has no windows and trees.

And the bids would eat them. I wish I knew what kind of tree it was. It had very small leaves almost like fern fronds.
