These pictures were taken this week, but not all today. I just thought it was interesting to compare the two species.
First we have the pigeons from the space station, er... grain elevator. You can't tell all of the difference in still shots. The pigeons fly more slowly, and seem to rise higher, then settle down on a wire, or roof, or whatever.
The starlings seem to fly more horizontally. They just zoom across the sky and suddenly they are all in a tree, and then just gone again without ever climbing vertically.
I think I need to try to catch video clips!
