Avian Feast

The weather has been unseasonably warm the past few weeks, and I’m loving it!  When I got home from work today I opened the doors and windows to air out the house, and at some point after that I cacophony of birds. 

Wondering what in the world was going on I peeked out the back door to find the ash trees literally smothered with birds! They covered almost every branch and even the trunks - there was barely enough room for them to move.

Starlings, Finches, Chickadees, a Warbler or two and a few Flickers, all feasting on the aphids; what a sight to see!  I did manage a photo or two before they flew off, but man that was weird!! It felt like Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, except these birds were after all of the flying aphids on the trees. Feast birds, feast!!
