When Neil Young sang of "big birds flying across the sky,"
Throwing shadows on our eyes," what kind of bird do you think he meant?

13. OMG, you and the other 2 posters, I think are right.
That would make so much sense.

"Big birds flying across the sky,
Throwing shadows on our eyes.
Leave us

Helpless, helpless, helpless"

Like another poster, I was thinking Canadian geese.
