I became fascinated with the purple martin roost at Highland Mall in Austin this summer. The tremendous number of birds coming in each evening - with the incredible speed and intricate flight patterns. The sounds as they chattered to one another and as their wings brushed the twigs around them, sounding like water flowing over gravel.
I shot this with my new Canon 5D MKIII. The ease to get to the video mode made it easy to film. This is my first YouTube video. I can see things I can do better next year when I try once again to capture the amazing flight of 600,000 martins coming in for the night.
