It might be that they saw the hawk high up in the sky. That is what I am guessing caused my flock to alarm like that.No, that was years ago. I so wish I hsd my phone with me at the time, as we had a MAJOR episode of it this morning. Buttercup started with the high pitched trill and progressed to a lower pitched rumble. Lucky joined in the rumble. All 13, including the babies, were perfectly still. A couple minutes later, Sunny (baby) did it in a very high pitched (of course, with her baby voice) succession of trills. The adults did listen to her. The flock was seeing something I was not. I did hear a hawk, but mostly the scrub jays were making a ruckus. Perhaps the hawk went after them snd the flock witnessed it?
