I have a large mixed flock of blackbirds roosting in my bamboo patch. Conservatively a couple thousand birds. I think a Great-horned Owl is hunting the birds in the bamboo, yet the flock does not leave. The commotion is keeping my dogs up much of the night.
 
Flock was several times larger last night, at least 10,000 birds. Difference appeared made up by starlings, a lot of starlings. This will end soon as bamboo drops its winter leaves.
