"The Birds"


Yesterday morning at about 6:30am I was at the Trenton train station in New Jersey. All of a sudden the sky turned dark with hundreds of flying, screeching black birds. After flying around for awhile they began to perch on the overhead electrical wires, the trees, and roof edges. I was beset with a very uneasy feeling and wondered if I had just been transported into the Hitchcock movie - "The Birds". Then just as suddenly they all flew up and away. What a strange phenomenon. Was this a migration event - if so - why so many - why this location - where were they all going? Once again, nature astonishes and sometimes frightens me.
