Suppose it's just that time of the year, migration time.
Birds are on the move, many in masses too.
Admittedly, I am slow on the draw with the camera but in fairness I've not had my camera on me, so by the time I run to grab it and get back the flocks have often moved on and I miss out.
One exception was the flock of grackles that took over my front yard the other afternoon. There were easily three times as many birds than the pic below shows. They were in the trees above and on both sides of the house. It's quite impressive to see SO many all together, especially when they take flight. How they don't bump into one another is amazing.
While making diner the other night, I looked out to see about (15) wild turkeys making their way into my yard. These birds have tremendous eyesight, so when they saw me watching they picked up their pace. By the time I grabbed my camera and returned, this is the best shot I could get, which only shows five birds -
I am not into Ornithology, nor am I an Ornithologist or even a Twitcher for that matter but I do enjoy watching the birds that visit my place all year long.
