Actually on the West Hants Christmas count, I estimated there to be  
1000 starlings in the flock that was on the roof of a building and the  
trees surrounding it just up Morrison Drive from the new roundabout. I  
kept thinking how handy a phaser rifle would have been! LOL

It is likely the same flock.
