Seen here are a large number of grackles perched on telephone wires in Texas where the birds are quite common. Set against a beautiful, fiery sky, the scene feels somewhat ominous.

The photo was recently shared on reddit by user SuperCub. In the comments, a number of Texas redditors made reference to always seeing hordes of grackles at their local H-E-B. One user even shared a link to a mildly interesting article on the phenomenon, Why Do Grackles Flock To Grocery Store Parking Lots at Dusk?
