I love that place, so many birds. I've actually recorded the sounds of the birds there!! I love the black specks against the blue sky!

And when you move, they all turn and watch you! A touch of Hitchcock for sure. Awonderful shot, Craig, very well captured

Very cool the way they are lined up. Even though the sun is shining it reminded me of:
"Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly."

I like the way they have perched on the near vertical branches, a flock of winter blackbirds.

they are like musical notes perched atop the tree. I really like the treatment bringing out the light on the tree and your pp of the sky.

This has a kinda haunting feel to it . . probably, as the others have said, because of the movie !
