Well, I was going to do an entry about do-it-yourself mole traps resulting in death by electrocution, but Kevin beat me to it in this entry (with hilarious animated gif of a gopher.) So, I thought there must be another interesting animal story out there and my spouse referred me to the Starlings of San Rafael.

It seems that a large flock of starlings has taken to gathering over a cemetery in the town of San Rafael in Marin County California. This flock of birds then orchestrates itself into a number of Hitchcock-inspired designs before flying away again. See for yourself below in these pictures published in the Marin Independent Journal.
