Nice.

It's stuff like this that almost makes me think there is a God.

I dare someone to go out there wearing a big suit made of bread.

You know Keith, I've always wondered - with all these starlings flying around all season, don't you think there would be a starling crash?

What we have lost my friends.

The whole earth used to be full of similar sites.

makes one weep for the lose of things we don't know that we once had.

douchebag/hater: Nice.

It makes me think there is more beauty to math and the universe than most people know.

You mean like liveleak?

did anyone else read that as "It's your yearly flock of darlings being eaten by a giant weird something that wasn't expected?
/because I did

Not to be snarky, but is that sort of display very rare for a lot of people?
I thought most bigass bird flocks act that way and that it wasn't uncommon to see.

Boids ^

Here, we get bigass wads of starlings and bigass wads of blackbirds. The starlings are prettier to watch, but the blackbirds have a better soundtrack. Some flocks are so big it takes them more than five minutes to fly by. Always makes the kids giggle and point.

Bird poop! Bird poop everywhere!!!

Reminded me of this (new window)

Hipsters use canoes now?

They were doing it before it was cool

I came here to say something along these lines--except with certainty rather than doubtfulness . . .

One of my most memorable "close to God" moments was 11k feet up in the Tetons (WY) . . . the wonders of nature are one of the more tangible signs of God's existence.

As for the comments of "math" being involved--I'm sure you could analyze the birds' activity mathematically from a human perspective; but I'm damned certain those birds aren't "creatively" structuring their flight patterns . . . that's 100% innate.

. . . oh yeah, and I came to say "that would be WICKED to watch while tripping!"

styckx: Bonus points for actually holding the camera pretty damn steady in a canoe.

Bonus points for not falling out of the damned canoe.

Alright, i wasn't gonna watch yet another flock of birds flick, but I am willing to pay some respect to someone holding a camera still, in hopes that it encourages the mods to keep greenlighting well made videos.

But damn if that wasn't pretty cool... and a little bit eerie at the same time. +1

I'm glad they didn't say OH my god!...Oh my god!... Oh my god, over and over.

I love watching chaos theory in action.
