Starlings. Other animals can make clusters like this but by starlings is by far the most common.

Rainbow Eucalyptus Trees, Oahu, Hawaii
Jeff White 6 months ago
I was older when I went to Oahu and thought I'd seen most everything there was to see (like Warren Zevon). Nothing was going to "floor" me anymore. And then I saw these trees. To say I was floored is one of my life's most profound understatements. The trees are really this varied and this colorful.

Photographer Alejandro Cartagena Photographed Construction Workers Commuting To Their Job Sites In The Backs Of Pickup Trucks On A Highway In Monterrey
Shot from a pedestrian bridge each morning, ‘Carpoolers’ captures a routine shaped by limited public transport and economic reality. Scenes that are common, but rarely noticed. The series quietly reflects on suburban sprawl and how working-class labor often goes unseen in cities driven by status and consumption.
