The Fort Pointer watched starlings doing some synchronized flying over Wormwood Park in Fort Point at dusk the other day.

Wormwood Park
is an excellent name for a tiny park situated between two huge parking lots, directly over the Mass Pike. I can imagine Hamlet sitting on a bench, muttering, rehearsing the scene in his head.
PLAYER QUEEN: O, confound the rest!
Such love must needs be treason in my breast.
In second husband let me be accurst;
None wed the second but who killed the first.
HAMLET: Wormwood, wormwood.
Truly one of nature's wonders
Truly one of nature's wonders. I was absolutely gobsmacked watching literally thousands of blackbirds doing this at Lackland AFB in Texas back in the 1970s. Up until then I thought the flocks of pigeons on the Boston Common were impressive.
Judging from the picture we're looking at hundreds of starlings. That's actually pretty impressive for an urban landscape.
