Description
Each day the flocks would land in the fields on both sides of a country road to feed on the grass and scattered seeds. On most days, one or two members of the flock would watch over he gaggle from an ancient, barren Oak tree.

This is excellent, Linda! I love the greatly detailed bark and branches as well as the hardly visible birds.

How interesting, never knew they posted sentinels, smart birds! LF
Linda McCarthy replied:
Thanks so much, Angie! The males do act as sentinels when the female is nesting, mostly on the ground but sometimes in a tree. It was news to me, as well. When they are guarding or warning of impending danger, they stretch their necks upward. :-)

Hi Linda, I see two of them, love the artistic look it has! L/F
Linda McCarthy replied:
Thank you, Rick. When I saw John's great capture, I said you gotta let me play with this one!
