Snow Buntings are a hearty type of Arctic bird that migrate along the North Shore of Lake Superior. They swoop and spiral in-sync with each other to form exquisite murmurations in the sky. When a project is well-managed, it feels a lot like a murmuration: Each person simultaneously focused on their own task (design, excavation, foundation, pluming, electrical, carpentry, inspection, etc.) and continually adjusting to each other to create something beautiful.
