http://vimeo.com/31158841. The embed code is not currently working so you will have to go the extra step and go to the site address and watch the two minutes of guaranteed Spectacular birds. Go to the site from Islands and Rivers and watch murmurations. Full screen it for best effect- better than any CGI effects ever. I will add the video later when I get the link to embed properly.
1. Why do the Spectacular starlings do this?
2. How are they able to do this without crashing into each other?
3. Why is it called a murmuration?
4. Can you think of any other animals that are famous for their swarming type behavior- what dictates this type of behavior for the examples you have chosen?
