By the time I got outside (after having had to hunt a lighter for precious) the funnel was see-through but not before, according to Alex.

A funnel of sparrows fleeing all of a force, not, that’s not an omen AT ALL.
I said nothing ominous of course but exclaimed at the wonder of it and tried to be merely enthralled. Not romantic. Very, very attention getting. :0
