I watch those starlings every day in this season while waiting for the bus. They do it so late in the evening that it is hard to get them on the film. May be should get a permit to go to the top of Vet Tower one of these days. I can hear them while waiting for the bus.
Gary, any suggestion how one can get permit?

Stop and watch them for a while. They circle and circle and after quite a long while they stream into a tower, what I presume is a chimney, in one fell swoop. Like reverse smoke. Not at all the way Chimney Swifts enter. Larry and I watched this several times last year. Fascinating.
