MURMURATION TRIPTYCH

For many years, we have seen flocks of Starlings sweeping over the Route 3 highway. They seem to like this spot and are fascinating to watch, but they are nothing compared to the flocks in Italy, Scotland, and the Netherlands. Thousands of starlings will fly and swoop making patterns in the sky before they settle down for the night. Murmuration is my tribute to these events.

”…the birds are part of a dynamic system in which the parts combine to make a whole with emergent properties—and a murmuration results.”
