Wow, just wow.
SACRAMENTO COUNTY, CA – It’s a sight that had drivers pulling off the road and bystanders gawking at the skies in awe in eastern Sacramento County Friday evening — a massive bird swarm, an estimated 500,000 strong, swirling and fluttering in effortlessly shifting formation in front of stunned spectators.
The amazing flock of European starlings was captured on video by News10’s Will Frampton along Highway 16 and Watt Avenue around 4:30 p.m. Friday.

I think it was somewhere between Los County and the Newport Beach area that there reports of gym bag thefts prior to when these two started up in Sacramento. I wonder if various police departments within the same state check with each other over these kind of ongoing crimes.

@Sage,
Ooops, I saw a second video on that same link you provided. Won’t make sense to anyone here. You can delete it and this one if you like.

@Alessandro Machi, In our house, we call that going off on a tangent.

After I watched the amazing birds video, a link popped up to the gym bags crime video I ended up commenting about.
