Once again the starling flocks are building here in NOTL.. Over the next 4 to 6 weeks one of natures most interesting sights can be seen here in NOTL. A drive up and down virtually any side road will likely produce a sighting of massive flocks starlings that perform the most amazing aerial maneuvers. Look closely at the margins for local Merlin’s and Red tailed hawks that concentrate the flocks. Birders and non birders alike can marvel at the aerial artistry of these often maligned birds.
