"4 AND 20 BLACKBIRDS"

During the early fall, flocks of blackbirds gather at one time in the woods around us. Their noise is unbelievable!!! They all fly from branch to branch...can't make up their mind. Last year we had them in our "woods". The neighbors called asking what was going on!!!. I know if I say there was a 1000 birds, I would not be exaggerating!!!!

What you see here are the birds that are gathering on the ground...the trees were full!!!

It reminds me of the nursery rhyme......

4 AND 20 BLACKBIRDS
Sing a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in a pie
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing
Wasn’t that a dainty dish
To set before the king.
