The blue sky is a magical realm and fills us with marvel. The starlings conquer the blue sky, flocking together. Murmuration is a very beautiful word and you put it to perfect use here. It enhanced the visual so much. Loved it, dear Chris!

I was briefly homeless (or "unhoused" as the proper politically correct terminology is in the States these days....) Outside of the shelter I lived at lived a flock of starlings, I thought they were beautiful, iridescent. They're not too common in my part of the States as they are elsewhere in the world, so it was neat to see them
