Field of Starlings in the SnowField of Starlings in the SnowWhen I found this field of spent sunflowers, I didn't anticipate the number of birds that were feeding in the field and on the old stalks. I saw movement and then I saw the entire flock fly up in the air and land again on the dried up sunflowers. As I approached, you can imagine the sound of all of these birds, which combined with the falling snow, made for a beautiful scene.
