Birds!

One of my favorite things about this time of year is the large number of birds on their way through to warmer southern climates. We have an electrical substation just kitty-corner from our house, and in the early afternoon, it's almost always completely covered in chirping birds. I wish I had some better pictures of them in flight (when they all take off at once, it's pretty spectacular), but I'll have to live with having just a few pictures of them just chilling.




I wish this one turned out better, but I like the curved wire at the top:



Of course, all of this reminds me of my favorite Mel Gibson/Goldie Hawn vehicle, Bird on a Wire.

  1. I, too, am obsessed with birds on wires (the former--that picture of Mel Gibson is creeptastic) but I can never get a good shot. Usually because I'm driving when I see them.
