Feb. 2005, I planned to spend one night in Cuauhtemoc Chihuahua as I traveled by bus to Creel.  I before dusk I went to the plaza and experienced an amazing spectacle.  The sky was black with thousands of yellow headed black birds coming to roost in the plaza trees for the night.  The sound was deafening.  Locals said this was a daily occurrence.  I spend another night so I could watch the birds come in from the surrounding fields from the roof of my hotel.
