I'm sorry I don't take the time to comment more, but I had to tell you that I laughed so hard at this story!

Although I grew up where there were lots of starlings. The way they fly/act as one giant organism can be inspiring, astonishing and freaky in turns...

So glad that you enjoyed the fruits of your labors. :) Still a month or more before our berries ripen, darn it. *goes to fish about for the remainder of last year's crop in the freezer*
