I may have posted about this before but it continues to fascinate me.
There is a power pole at the end of our neighborhood that I pass anytime I go anywhere.
Nearly every time I go by - morning, noon, or night - the wires leading from that pole, and only that pole, are full of pigeons.
It seems they are always perching there, this passel of pigeons, and there is always one white one in their group.
They're kind of like a gang, with one guy leading them.
I tried to crop the photo down to give you a closer look but the camera in my phone was not really equal to the task so the next picture is a little bit fuzzy.
By the way, the Almighty Google tells me that one of the alternative names for this bird is "a dropping of pigeons".
Somehow I think that's most appropriate.
Where did your header go?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean? It's there.
DeleteIt wasn't one mine the first go round.
DeleteDon't you wonder what those birds are thinking?
ReplyDeleteProbably "what's up with that guy, always staring at us and now taking our picture?"
DeleteA dropping of pigeons. That's hilarious! The things that I learn from blogs.
ReplyDeleteA dropping of pigeons is perfect! Hitchcock would have been unimpressed with these birds. They don't look threatening at all. ;)
ReplyDeleteI can just hear them. Like the vultures in that Disney movie, "What ya wanna do?" I dunno, what YOU wanna do?" I dunno.." etc.

ReplyDeleteOne more and they unleash their plan for Operation Arizona Domination.
ReplyDeleteSurprised to see pigeons(rock doves) sitting on a wire.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it is about the pole that attracts them. Is it a Magnetic pole?
ReplyDeleteIt may be that there is an open lot across the street allowing them to see all over the area.
DeleteA dropping of pigeons. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time since I heard the word, passel. I always thought that it was a mispronunciation or parcel, but that appears to not be the case.
ReplyDeleteThe Almighty Google tells me it is an alteration of parcel.
