Sky Gray Sky

[Central Scrutinizer]

Not directly Wilco-related but interesting photos by Richard Barnes. He spent two years photographing massive swarms of European starlingscongregating for their biannual forage in the Roman countryside. The swarms are their protection against predators, and the group undulates through the sky as each bird desperately avoids being left out on the dangerous edge. Looks like a certain album cover.
