Starlings Flock to Oldham County, C-J's Emily Hagedorn Explains: State of the News

On Friday's State of the News, we heard about the tens of thousands of birds circling over Oldham County. It's called a murmuration—when flocks of starlings come together and fly in dense formations—and it's been happening nightly in LaGrange since late fall. Emily Hagedorn covered the story for the Courier-Journal, and she joined us to talk about why it might be happening and how residents are coping with the birds.
