Really impressive. A while ago my daily commute took me out past the
rice fields south of Houston. Once a year we would see migrating 'rice
birds' in a 'contiguous' tube-like flock stretching from one horizon to
another while rising above the hedge rows. (But that was before digital
cameras.) The flock might drift from side to side but the birds just
kept on coming and coming and coming. These flocks too showed a sharp
boundary between relatively evenly spaced birds to none. What's the
story behind boundary effects/observations I wonder.
