Birds and the Texas Moon

I forgot these photos I made while in Texas visiting my son and daughter-in-law a couple of months ago. The moon was full and bright right out their front door as the sun sat out the back door. It was time for the grackles to swarm like locusts, and everywhere you went there were these massive black clouds of grackles. While I was making photos of the moon, a swarm flew between the moon and me.

A few minutes later a small V of geese flew by, headed East Northeast.
