There's a peculiar kind of clicking that happens when blackbirds flock
on the way to roost at night. It's not song, maybe a way to keep the
group centered?

Well, it sounds like more than a few people have noticed the depth
going on here. I wonder, do you have to be an old fart to perceive
these things? It seems to me a shame this kind of listening is not
taught to children.
