Dylan Winter and the Starling Murmurations

[@marthaleon8758]

The sacred in motion. Thank you so much.

[@teresadevine8113]

Just amazing and so lifegiving- so uplifting and the creative action in the air....totally in awe of this area of the community of life!

[@Michellemutts7848]

I seen this for the first time earlier whilst out walking my dogs. I just stood and watched them and it was beautiful. Nature is amazing if you just take the time to stop and absorb it.

[@jainkoffler6454]

This is by far the best video of this wonderful air dynamic display I have ever seen

[@gr8light]

I just love this. Lucky you getting to see it in person and thanks so much for sharing

[@bryanjeske6856]

It's amazing how they communicate and work together efficiently !!! The beauty of nature !!!

[@artfantasies]

Wonder-ful, simply wonderful and beautiful to see. Reminding me on my youth where still big flocks of birds were here to watch. Amazing, thank you for uploading :) ... never thought I would see something like that again.

[@granmahurt3397]

amazing. Thank you for the opportunity to watch one of natures most amazing ballets in the sky.

[@carlamcleod2042]

Stunning display of the wonder and synchronicity of nature. Thank you so much for this beautifully done video.

[@onlylexus]

I have seen folds turn within tunnels, I have touched the silken sky as countless artists weave grace before my very eyes. Harmony of winds as if each breath of tiny life is reaching out to me. Wings of divine dunes dance in myriads of haze and I see wonders that hold me speechless. Each one spins a web as if controlled by natures built-in chip. I see grace and I know that I am nothing in comparison, for we are nothing because we dance alone, not so the Starling... unity is life and so wonderful it is.

[@davidcunningham2984]

I smile laugh and cry every time I see a murmuration. How wonderful is that. I don't know what why or how they are doing it. It looks to me like simply joie de vivre.

[@carolinearick3082]

Yes!!

[@YasuniWilderness]

Thanks Illustra Media & Dylan Winter for putting together these incredible video. Nature is amazing box of surprises. Shiripuno Lodge Check this great work.

[@VenturaWeddings]

Thanks @Illustra Media & Dylan Winter for putting together these incredible video. Nature is amazing box of surprises. @Shiripuno Lodge Check this great work.

[@ritaemerson4469]

I seen the video of the girls in the canoe when the birds came flying over them and what a show it was for them. This was another treat for me....mesmerizing!

[@bluelifemedia]

I have always been hypnotized by this act. It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. This mystery will always be.

[@buddyboy4x44]

Amazing. I would also love to see what they look like after they have settled. They must be shoulder to shoulder. What a cooperative venture they undertake together.

[@mattditch5199]

Birds putting on a show as amazing as the Northern Lights. Just incredible.

[@lynfl9814]

In the US (NE Pennsylvania) I have seen this occur twice in my life. I am 60+. It is breathtaking and overwhelming to watch. I have not seen it occur again in over 15 years. I fear there are not enough birds for this to continue to occur in nature here. Absolutely heart breaking to think that may be true.

[@alisina1472]

Incredibly amazing. No words can describe it. Thanks you.

[@MrT79shakeshake]

Same Dylan winter that filmed timber trucks in British Columbia and custom harvesters in USA? Sounds like his voice. Great video

[@fahadkhalafalbahri4674]

amazing view, Thanx God 4 ur kindliness.

[@NathanBonillaWarford]

Mesmerizingly beautiful and fascinating at the same time!

[@jimwarfordmusic5017]

Yes! Thanks for sharing this Nate. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

[@RedSpiralHandTV]

thank you for a wonderful and uplifting video that reminds us of the miraculous and astounding things happening all of the time all around us. we only have to take some time to look and notice.

[@atulbatra3350]

Awesome ! And kudos to the photographer's patience to catch such moments. An absolute pleasure and privilege. Cheers

[@hymnsofpraise2841]

[@jeanetteciccone532]

Beautiful, graceful and wondrous to watch.

[@elainejanzen]

[@kathymaionchi9105]

WOW, they are as ONE. So awe inspiring to watch their movements,

[@ritaartist1225]

So awesome! Thank you for sharing this video with us.

[@vecinoslacalavilla]

This left me with my mouth wide open in wonderment, at the beauty of this flight, I actually tearedup thinking what would I give to lay down on my back for a whille and just take it all in! I am stunned. pity he talked actrually I could watch this in complete silence, and it would be even more amazing, I think I will watch it again with the volume off, and my own music-

[@marileerickert1786]

Our murmurings of love will follow you to Argentina, Therese!!!love, Marilee

[@RickOShay]

Great video - pity about the music being played all the time - I wanted to hear the sounds of the swarm.

[@raimei5256]

How great this video !! the birds flying in the sky like dance...thank you to share the nice video !!

[@jeaniealt44]

... Amazing and Fantastic .!!! ... Thank You So Much .!!! ...

[@LeGiTEntertainmentMediaCoInc]

Strikingly beautiful post to inspire Mankind at this time when both natural and manmade disasters fall upon our Earth. Thank you Dylan Winter for sharing.

[@EngagedWellBeing]

WOW! Amazingly beautiful!

[@MaureenFairhurst]

This is totally awesome, something I have never seen before and it was mesmerizing!!!

[@christinakourkoulou4051]

GOOD WEEKEND MY FRIED

[@MaureenFairhurst]

You also Christina, my friend too :))

[@HelenaMikas]

I agree "How wonderful is that " Science can try to come up with answers and reasons ,Why ? Science cant even say why humans mess lives up .Starlings are the most astonishing birds . Thanks for the video . It makes great viewing . ..★Greetings from Berlin , Helena :)

[@Neb.333]

Oh my heart, Mother Nature. This planet is astonishing ❤️

[@whitneydevlin4136]

Beautifully produced. I found the music soothing.

[@tracyjordan5678]

There is a large flock of chimney swifts that live in the old belfry on the 10th Street school in Wyoming PA. From my parents back deck at sunset, you can watch as they all return home circling the belfry before silently slipping inside for the night. Of course, the flock is not as large as this.

[@erinhemenway9311]

I don't have words for how mind boggling this is, Wish humans could be together with just a small amount of this harmony.

[@LoisXenakis]

OMG that is so amazing!!! So beautiful!

[@johnleong3555]

Mumurations is such an amazing scene to watch; so wonderfully n skilfully excuted. "Two thumbs up".

[@davidhamilton506]

I'm Davo, the talking Chimp. I give four thumbs up...

[@jpalberthoward9]

This is something that I gotta put on my "bucket list". This rates up there with total solar eclipses and the Grand Canyon in the "do not miss this" dept. The sky on a clear night between San Antonio and El Paso rates as pretty incredible too.

[@karinsraleigh]

That's one of the most amazing things I have seen all my life.

[@TAXPAYERFEDUP]

How about Shutting off the music so we could hear this Amazing Noise the Birds make.

[@rrenkley]

thanks for sharing my feelings.

[@Urdatorn]

Mike Mcc The music is a joke.

[@CheersWarren]

Nothing wrong with the music the overdubbed America accent spoils the original narration by Dylan.

[@belletollz]

thank you for sharing. so moving

[@malibu-ken]

too bad the music is so loud you can't even hear the "murmurations" ;(

[@Urdatorn]

lvegasken Yeah, what’s with the horrible shrieky kitsch music?

[@CheersWarren]

The music is fine and not obtrusive , but the american accent overdubbed spoils the original narration by the film maker Dylan Winter but at least he gets the credit for the filming , long before many others put murmuring on you tube.

[@Relyse]

Wonderful video!

[@michelet8568]

Thank-you.

[@mueller336]

Brilliant! Txs for sharing!

[@brendaadams3448]

Absolutely amazing!!

[@ScottCamazine8]

Mr Winter raised some interesting questions about how the murmuration is guided. There has been a lot of recent research on the subject, including behavioral studies combined with computer simulations. We have reviewed some of this work in a book called Self-Organization in Biological Systems. press.princeton.edu/titles/7104.html

[@marklastname7047]

Delightful. Awesome. All except the music.. cannot hear 'murmurations'. Why music ??

[@joycemorris2493]

This is very interesting Kathy. Thanks for sharing!

[@Christinecedar]

Absolutely beautiful, thank you for sharing :)

[@desleyholman1813]

I live in Brisbane Australia I am 87.9 years old & when I was a girl growing up starlings were considered a pest & today a person hardly ever sees a starling Sad especially when you see something as beautiful as this video

[@morthpalla]

Magic!! I would love to see the murmuration in person!!

[@groesa59]

Absolutely amazing! How can 657 people not like this?

[@mariannebrown9590]

Outside of Dulles airport, near STerling Virginia, the same phenomenon occurs nightly or it did 10 years ago. It was the most amazing river of starlings

[@rickym51]

I see it every day almost here in King Salmon, Eureka, Ca., exit 700 on 101 north. I never knew what the sound was called and I have asked the same questions, who leads, what makes them able to NOT hit each other, I guess it is just an other Miracle of Nature.

[@husseinabdelfatah9438]

I hope one day we will find a leader to lead us like these lovely birds.

[@avatorre-bueno6942]

Lovely video, but it would have been better to drop the music when describing the sound of the flock, so we could hear the sound of the flock.

[@tubvind]

An Excellent piece fwd by my Buddy SEBASTIAN from Bangalore and thanks to Producer and if course my St. SEBASTIAN.

[@joannacarley7754]

Its happening in Penzance this evening to stand near where they roost is amazing.

[@dawnangela4364]

Just saw some near Totnes in Devon. Not so many as this but still beautiful and exhilarating!

[@2111935]

Thanks for sharing.

[@janetwebsterjones18]

Wonders of our natural world- a true gift to sentient beings today.

[@paulthefish33]

Amazing that they don’t run into each other.

[@MsJester5]

How absolutely amazing

[@tomfoolery-4444]

Dylan Winter and the Murmurations would make a hell of a band name

[@frankmosca3707]

Gorgeous!! Can you now come to N. America and take back all the starlings living here so Eurasia can continue to enjoy their flight for centuries to come? And so we can get rid of the beasts, finally!

[@emilytruman5709]

Wow absolutely stunning❤️🥰😇🙏

[@jt5439]

Absolutely mesmerizing and fascinating....

[@annsinavage4725]

Just beautiful

[@rrenkley]

THANKS, not to be hypercritical but I feel I have to. Dylan Winter's narration is needed but showing him only at the beginning would be enough and the "roaring noise" and "sound of wings" he mentions is never heard. Nature has its own distinctly beautiful sounds and I would have liked to have heard these instead of the teary eyed syrupy heart tugging background noise dubbed into the film. Is this about Dylan's film making abilities or is it about the starlings? I viewed it a second time without the sound and except for the disturbing breaks to Dylan found it marvelously fluid, graceful and truly eerie. YES stunning.

Psalm 145:21 "Let every living thing praise His holy name forever and ever." and 148:10 "creatures that crawl and flying birds"

[@yeah60]

Amen❤️

[@gpr8695]

Absolutely beautiful !!!

[@coomhola]

Starling murmurations ... my favorite naturally occurring phenomenon on this earth of ours ... excepting maybe wild storms, circumhorizontal arcs, and brilliant star filled nights!

[@jennibutler2964]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@suzandaniel9529]

Breath taking, awesome!!!

[@thumbprint7150]

Thank you, beautiful.

[@robertecarpenter]

Yes ... how wonderful is that!!! Marvellous, fantastic, words fail. I have seen several videos of this. All of them, like this one not in 1080 much less 4k definition. Please, if it is only 3 miles away, beg borrow or steal a 4k camera and redo this (without the music). Rob

[@sharonashcraft6358]

Just amazing, how beautiful

[@marymcgee4850]

Beautiful

[@kogrone]

It's a dance... so gorgeous!

[@BrendaLombard]

Indeed....how wonderful is that!

[@bentbay2500]

We also have "Black Sun" in West Jutland, Denmark. Very nice.

[@robertjensen1048]

722 farmers who had to sweep up 340 tons of bird poop disliked this video.

[@rodmead5762]

Guano is the best fertilizer!

[@dpbruno137]

Wonderful !

[@paulasmith3272]

How wonderful is that

[@joaquimgrilodealmeida9138]

Gostaria de saber qual é o "comando" que orienta as movimentações daquela massa de aves.

[@peggyalbright3745]

Awesome! Loved it!

[@jamicrawford1240]

Just beautiful!!!

[@manojeetmehta4648]

Lovely & Amazing

[@chriswilliams6568]

I used to see this all the time at dusk as a child on the Isle of Wight in England, I thought it had stopped happening as I have never seen it in Canada. Amazingly mysterious. Birds and animals are much more intelligent than many of us believe. They just have a different intelligence to us.

[@joanburchill5082]

There are many flight paths that seem to join in the fall in Eastern Ontario just at the Quebec border. They come in lines and lines to join together to form and migrate south. I was thankful and amazed to witness this fall happening. I live in western Canada now.

[@chriswilliams6568]

Joan Burchill So are you saying you saw this in Ontario? I lived in CB Nova Scotia for 6 years and never saw it and have never seen it here in Richmond BC, but we are in an urban area now. Have only seen this in England, yet we have Starlings here.

[@joanburchill5082]

Chris Williams, I can only speak to that yearly fall gathering of Canadian geese close to Lancaster, Ontario. Amazing and mesmerizing!

[@43Mainstreet]

This was spectacular."..
