One of my favorite events of fall is the huge flocks of blackbirds that form to feed on the recently cut fields and farms.

Mainly starlings and red-winged blackbirds, these huge flocks fly together landing and quickly taking off again, over and over feeding on insects and seeds.

Dusk illuminates their wings as the sun sets over this hay field.

A large group of fluffy white eyebrows escaped from captivity and are seen here fleeing by overhead. This unexpected miracle of nature was captured back in July.

Flocks of geese on Sauvie Island, Oregon in autumn.

A flock of birds cross the eclipsed Sun during the maximum phase along the shore of Cape Cod National Seashore. Low clouds briefly obscured the views at time but it made for some very interesting pictures. It was a great way to end my 6 day night sky and eclipse workshop and I am looking forward to my next eclipse adventure.

I came upon a flock of seagulls by the St. Lawrence River today. This one took a walk on its own, all puffed up and looking proud.

While wandering through the Rynek this morning I turned the corner and at first thought these two were being attacked, but then I realized they are just getting married! Congratulations to you both. This is not my usual photo and I am not in any way a wedding photographer, but I couldn't resit shooting either........just too good to pass! Kudos to the real wedding photographer!

The trees in Two Harbors wear a nice flocking of fresh snow as a Minorca pellet load eases downgrade towards Stephenson yard. The still-warm pellets offer up an essence of steam.

As I was walking home alongside the Union Canal on an autumn evening, I caught sight of a whole flock of birds, moving in a formation, back and forth behind some tenements, silhouetted against the dusk sky.

Sadly I only managed to get a couple of very quick snaps off before they vanished behind the buildings, but it was still magical to watch them, wheeling and turning in a formation.

A flock of Black Turnstones at Quarry Cove in Newport, Oregon.

Wintering at the Oregon Coast, they like the rocky habitat within the intertidal areas of the coast. Beautiful plumage best seen in flight showing off striking contrasting patterns. Delightful to watch as the waves crash on the rocks.
