BIRDS ON A WIRE

 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.
