(UPI) The 400 residents of this tiny Maryland hamlet used to say the chief entertainment around Graceham was going to church on Sundays.

Things changed a few months ago when an estimated 10 million birds came to roost in the nearby pine forest, and their daily flight created a scene some compared to the Hitchcock thriller, "The Birds." Now townspeople are watching a new spectacle--hundreds of tourists who are journeying here to see firsthand how the redwing blackbirds, starlings and grackles fly to their roost each evening and block out the sunset in a mass of flapping wings. "It's quite an attraction," said Frederick County Commissioner Donald L. Lewis Sunday. "We've had about 400 or 500 people in this weekend to see the birds." State Police Sgt. Harry Frost said, "There have been some large crowds watching in the evening when all those birds come home to roost." "We have men checking the area to help out when things get tied up," he said.

"You've got to remember, Graceham is a small community. If they get even 50 cars up there, it's something unusual for them." One woman resident complained that her home had become a public restaurant and restroom for the birdwatchers visiting town. The community of Graceham lies just west of the presidential retreat at Camp David situated in the foothills of the Catoctin Mountains. During peak summer months, perhaps as many as 500 tourists may visit the area, but Graceham usually is left unnoticed for the rest of the year. Experts predict the birds will leave on normal migration patterns during the first or second warm spell.

But area officials are concerned that they will devour seeds from spring crop plantings before that time, and say the birds' dropping, three inches deep in some parts of the forest, create a possible hazard of a lung disease. Commissioner has asked the military to fly helicopters into the birds' flight patterns in an attempt to scare them off before they voluntarily would leave. Army and National Guard spokesman have indicated they would reject the proposal, but Lewis said he would await a formal decision today. If his proposal is turned down, local and state officials plan to meet on Tuesday to discuss alternate proposals to force the birds into an early departure. HEARING SHIFTED NASHVILLE, Tenn.

(UPI) Federal Judge L. Clure Morton has shifted to Memphis the hearing into a possible new trial for James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Horton said Friday that all further proceedings in Ray's appeal of his 99-year prison sentence will be heard in Memphis "because most of the witnesses are from Shelby (Memphis) County." An evidentiary hearing has been ordered by the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals into charges by Ray that he was talked into pleading guilty by two of his former attorneys and author William Bradford Huie.
