The Birds!

Much like the Alfred Hitchcock movie, the birds were thick on this field.  We pulled in to our customer near Freeburg and there were blackbirds everywhere.  It looked like most were grackles, but we could see a few redwing blackbirds and undoubtedly, there were some starlings.  As we rode across the field on the 4 wheelers, they seemed to stay about 75 yards away.  In the corn fields, it was not so obvious just how many there were.  On the more bare soybean stubble as below, they were easy to see.  In some of the bare trees, the blackbirds made it look like the trees had leaves.
