What a wonderful experience! Does anyone know why they do that? It *looks* like sheer joy...

No one knows. It's a spectacular display.

Too bad we can't send the ones here back to Europe. We certainly wouldn't miss them. I mean, I like the little buggers, I think they're kind of raffish, but they're not native, and they certainly have put pressure on native species here.
