Every year its like a bad Alfred Hitchcock movie (ok, that dates me!) The Starlings, like the rude house guests that they are, gather in huge flocks of hundreds and thousands to literally strip the fruits and berries off from trees in minutes. This shot is one of several "tree fulls" that I came across as I left work after watching the snow lazily fall all day. They would swoop in a massive synchronized flock into the smaller trees and shrubs at ground level and strip the fruits as if they had eaten in months! Kind of scary how quickly they come in a empty a fruit ladened tree in seconds - and the snow is barely sticking on the ground!
