Exclamation Homework Help

I need help with dangling modifiers. "Flying over the oak tre, the farmer saw the flock of birds that had damaged his crops." How would I fix this sentence?

Welcome, CBusack.

Hint: the underlined phrase tells us about the birds that had damaged [the farmer's] crops, so it needs be near that part, not far away.

Dangling: "Flying over the oak tree, the farmer saw the flock of birds that had damaged his crops."

Hope that helps.
