Bird flock

[MK111]

A large flock of birds were in the yard this morning. At first I thought the noise was pouring down rain. Then the wife said look at the birds. There was 100,000's.
I never seen this type of bird before as it was larger than the black starlings with brown thrown in. Couldn't get a decent close up as they don't stay still long enough.

They blacked the sky when I snapped the picture. You can see the yard grass and my truck.


Best close up before they flew off.

Starlings I think?!!

 

[MK111]

Don't think so as they were about 50% larger than starlings and had brown mixed in feathers.

Most likely Rusty Blackbirds. They are very late migrants through Ohio and usually travel in very large flocks.
