A bevy of birds

Wow, were the birds going crazy at your house last night? Granted, we had thunderstorm warnings, but there were battalions of birds doing aerial battle last night! They started out with just loud chirping, but soon, large flocks were zooming from one place to another in our back woods and yard. It seemed like a bird version of "West Side Story" was playing out in the trees! What's up with that???? Was it like that where you are?
