These birds are being a major problem in our area.  There are so many of them that at sunset all the trees are filled and entire field of farmland appear to have a black carpet.

There are several places around our area that are having problems with large flocks of birds. The birds take over large fields or parks and apparently moved in for the winter. I captured this group in Eureka, Mo., as they left a field and flew over interstate 44, yesterday while driving to the airport.
