'The Birds' or 'Brigadoon'

My chixx get treats scattered about their yards and in open feeders twice a day.  That makes Finally Farm  a gold mine for the avian world. And recently, huge flocks of 2 or 3 varieties have flown in and around, moving en masse.  It's an amazing sight to see (and hear) them settling to the ground or whooshing off in a dark cloud. Usually, Jack ignores them; but he felt compelled to chase them as they rose to the skies this morning.  He ran, woofing furiously...what a brave dog.

Don't let me catch you back in these parts either!
The birds didn't stay away long however...and watching this from inside on a dreary day with the mist growing Brigadoon thick makes me feel like I really am in a Hitchcock movie! 
These trees gave me a shiver until...
...I turned and saw this!
