A humongous flock of birds made a racket in the trees at the edge of Ash Creek in Fairfield on a cloudy afternoon this week.
When my wife and I heard the clamor from our kitchen, we went to the backyard to see what was happening. There we witnessed hundreds of birds perched on practically every branch of three or four trees, chattering with one another.
The chirping lasted for almost half an hour. Then, as suddenly as they had arrived, the flock took flight in near-unison, leaving only silence in their wake.
You can listen to a portion of the chirping and the moment of flight by clicking on the player below.
