The blackbirds head south
Yesterday, a front moved through, and on its crest, as if riding an undulating wave, blackbirds by the hundreds came and went.
Yards and sky both beset with throaty conversation. By evening they had passed on, a massive migration.
Now it's cold, and I'm certain the leaves will fall overnight.

Now and then, seeing a flock birds moving on with such purpose, I sometimes feel compelled to follow.
Once on a walk at the levee in Forsythe park I stood for at least 15 minutes waiting to see the end of a flock of birds passing over me.
