**Thanksgivings weekend, while set up X-mas lights on
roof in the late afternoon, the blackbirds flocks
finally came over and roughly estimate around 125,000.
That is just the beginning, in the next few days,
there'll be more. They started around 425pm. I didn't
have my binoculars with me, not safe while added
lights to the roof.
