Migration

[PRFISHER]

This is just a question, This morning when I went out to feed the dog there was huge flocks of black birds flying around, huge meaning a couple thousand. Isn't this extremely early to see those strings of black birds migrating. I hope this is a sign of good things yet to come with the duck migration. Any ideas?

also seen a big string this morning but they where headed north. I would say a couple thousand at least.

I have seen several flocks myself, but they just seem to be bunching up not migrating. It is about the right time for them to start gathering, but a little early to migrate. See if they are still around in a couple days. I'll bet they are just flocking up and feeding in the few feilds that are cut.

[FOOT]

Black birds and bees will tend to "gather" this time of year or go into a pre-migration staging. It signals the early start to fall approaching.

They won't start migrating for several weeks yet.
