This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Eerie.’ See more responses here.
These birds were on the ground when I approached, but then took to the air in unison. They quickly landed on the fence and overhead wires and it became eerily quiet again. I immediately thought of the Hitchcock film, and hastened on.
Graham's Island 
My husband was traumatized by that movie as a young boy… but then ended up breeding pigeons (which give me the heebie-jeebies!) Linda 🙂

Those clouds were pretty dark. Maybe I should have doctored them a bit!

Very atmospheric photo, Graham. We often speak of that film at similar moments – birds can certainly set a mood.

Oh boy, Graham, you captured the eeriness of The Birds perfectly here. Isn’t that funny, when birds suddenly go deathly quiet? Nothing eerier.
Years ago, I visited the set where they filmed the movie in Bodega Bay. There is something STILL creepy about seeing the school house.

Thanks Terri. That must have been cool to visit where it was filmed. I think the movie still holds up pretty well, even after all these years.
