Driving to Davis across the Yolo Causeway on New Year's Day, I was startled to see large flocks of European starlings cruising above the Vic Fazio Wildlife Refuge. One flock extended for at least a mile and contained thousands of birds.
I didn't realize the flocks were that big. I remember one evening several years ago, getting trapped for half an hour in a convenience market at Anderson & 5th in Davis, across from UCD, by a veritable shit storm raining down from a flock of starlings. Still, I had forgotten.
Modesto and Merced have had their troubles with starlings this winter. I guess we're next.
