When we head South we go via the DelMarVa Peninsula that lies  between 
Chesapeake Bay and the sea. One the reasons is the bird watching.  It is common 
to see enormous flocks of starlings and grackles as well as fields  covered 
with flocks of geese, both Snow and Canada. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge at  
the South end is also worth while. It is 20 miles across and has a wildlife  
refuge at the North end.

I love the piper/shorebird  displays and  I've seen some starling displays 
for sure, Jim, but this was the most  amazing!! hands down. 
 
I'm not sure I want to either, at least around  here. I worry about my bird 
food budget!! That crowd would eat 10 years  of it about 1/2 sec I would 
expect
 
I sent the link. A friend from Mississippi sent  it to me. 
 
Today I'm seeing flocks of 30 or more Blue jays  and one quite a bit bigger 
of Robins. I totally lost count on that one, was  kneading my bread and had 
to stay inside.
