The photos below are photos of a small segment of a larger flock of birds called, "Starling". These shots were taken in a rice field in Lodi, Ca. These birds a often seen in large flocks especially around farms and dairies.
One farmer referred to them as Rats with wings due to the damage they cause to his rice crop. Given the large numbers I'm sure you can imagine how much they might eat in a day. I am often amazed watching them fly; it is like watching a large school of fish in the ocean, or a swarm of Locust....they all move in the same flow.
The first photo shows more detail, while the second photo shows sheer numbers.
