 So I was sitting there, shooting the other direction, with my music in my headphones, and I turn, and there are HUNDREDS of birds landing on the tracks, then taking off all together, then landing again. You can't see them very well, but there are a ton still on the tracks, and there was about twice as many already behind me.

Fits the challenge well. Even though the scenery is nice and has great parallel lines along with contrast is very easy to see that the birds are the main focus. Again one of the the more interesting shots in this challenge. Great work.

This made me smile! I love the activity. The winter colors, the leading lines/curves of the track - all good.
