Any idea what they're up to when they do that? It looks like they're just doing it for the fun of it! It's the start of fall migration, and they're practising flocking, probably. You get substantial groups flying out to feed together, but that's a migration-scale flock. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
