I believe that the flying ants were dispersing today. Perhaps that was
the Starlings' primary target food.

We just looked out above our house (near Mitchell St) and noticed that
there are probably about 100 starlings who are "catching flies"--or
acting similar to flycatchers--about 200 feet up in the sky. I
noticed this same phenomena earlier this morning off of East Hill Rec
Way.
