Here is a shot of part of a large group of starlings that invaded my 
front yard.  I didn't know what to call it, just called it a swarm. LOL
I do agree that it is amazing when the all come in to land at one time.  
We have a pair that nest in the soffit area under the eaves of the 
roof.  They have pecked a hole in the fascia board and built a nest in 
there.  Had one plugged a couple of years ago and they have made another 
one.  The young should be about ready to fly.  They have been carrying 
worms in there for a while.  The crows will probably get some of them.
