Of the same ilk as 1963’s The Birds
We wintered in Harlingen, Texas 3 years ago, and one of our jaunts out and about led us to a community theater in Brownsville. Coming back from the show at dusk we saw a huge flock of black birds perched on wires. There were twice as many feet of bird covered wires as shown in the picture.
It put us in mind of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 movie The Birds, one of his scariest and creepiest movies.
It’s when they start moving you need to worry.

Great movie, and every time I see a big flock of birds I think of it. Nice photo of all those up on the wires. π

I agree; like ‘North by Northwest’ it hasn’t lost its potency π

So true, Hitchcock’s genius is timeless. Real fear and terror, no need for gory slashing…

Yes it does. I like that movie too, but seeing that in person would be too creepy.

Even though we were in our vehicle it was creepy seeing so many of those birds in one spot.

It’s wild that they all line up and face the same way with near perfect spacing as well.
