Thirty-six degrees

Cedar waxwings and robins

Flock from tree to tree.

Art Prescription: Watching the path of birds flying in unison is one of natures phenomenons. “Such movements are a prime example of emergent behavior: the behavior is not a property of any individual bird, but rather emerges as a property of the group itself. There is no leader, no overall control; instead the flock’s movements are determined by the moment-by-moment decisions of individual birds, following simple rules in response to interactions with their neighbors in the flock.”
