There is NO feeling to describe this moment!!!! None!!!!
Hundreds of thousands of Red-winged Blackbirds flying in to go to sleep in the grasses of a local wetland.
@colintheconroy Thanks for sharing the video! We looked for one to help us pronounce Māori words (clearly couldn't find that, as you can hear) but the one you shared is great!
And yes, the two birds we talk about with Māori names are from NZ, where the Māoris live—at least we knew that!
You love to see it! (The community support+independent fundraiser, not the many ppl experiencing homelessness in our city.)
Noah's fundraiser for @PathwaysDC is already up to $2600. Please share, and contribute if you can.
