Starlings at Hackensack, N J., Roost. 



Photograph taken at about sundown while most of the birds were singing. A few moments 

 later these starlings, along with hundreds of others, sailed out over a near-by marsh, where 

 they roosted among cat-tails in company with many red-winged blackbirds.
