Thanks, as I commented in it I clocked J's and starlings @ aapprox 80 or so kmh going South on Airport Rd, from up around Wasaga beach region ... at one point witnessed easily 1,000 Euro Starling + once on Lake Ontario near 1st street in S. Etobicoke at the park on lake I estimate 3,000 Cormorant.  Black, long sleek .. all flying 1 metre above water towards the city .. close to shore, the water was crystal clear and calm like a sheet of ice and it was a site to behold.  Not like a random flock of seagulls, i am talking about very organized V formation flight like Cdn Geese fly.

 :D

I love nature and wish I could be snorkeling now..
