Yeah, I'm not kidding! Something scared the flock of 30+ wild female hens just at dusk last night.
What ever it was that scared these birds out of their normal roost drove them to fly across 200 yards of open water to a small island. They then flew back but many of them stayed high up in the tree that they landed in for most of the night.
These birds are large and that was a fairly far distance for them to fly. They are looking very appealing to many other creatures, who view them as food.
I hope you enjoy the video. I posted it to my Youtube channel on Dec. 10th, 2017.
