My Encounter with the Rosy Starlings

Rosy Starlings on the tree

 On one late winter morning, my mother and I were on the terrace drying some clothes. Suddenly we caught sight of some 100s of birds performing an artwork flying dance in the air (Murmuration) just above the abundant trees of the woods. It was an awe-inspiring scene! We wondered which birds would perform such a flying dance in the air. Unfortunately, I did not have a camera to capture this spectacular moment. Later, these 100s of birds had settled down in the woods just behind our house. They were so boisterous that the woods were filled with constant chirping in the daytime. Twice or thrice, I even focused my binoculars on the trees they had perched, trying to identify these birds but could not find their identity.  

Unfortunately, I could not give much time to study these birds. They stayed just for a few weeks in the woods and left the place. A few months later, while I was doing some research on birds came to know that these birds were Rosy Starlings. In fact, there are really many miracles happening in nature and wildlife. I am hoping they will be back by the next winter or spring.
