I am rather surprised to find so many mixed flocks here now. Or, rather, to find such a difference between the behavior of the birds now and the behavior of the same birds during my last visit. Why are there seasonal differences in gregariousness in some areas and not in others? Does it have anything to do with T° differences between seasons????
