Photos of the week:
I have been watching the birds a lot lately. Hitchcock would be proud. I orginally wanted to catch them on a wire. (See above) But I also love how they become the leaves for dead winter trees.
And I especially love to see them fly together in seamless harmony. They are like one well-oiled machine doing intricate aerial maneuvers.
Why do they gather on those wires? Are they warm with electrical current running through them?
You want to see an assembly of birds - take a look at our WalMart parking lot in the very early morning or the early evening when the Crows gather. There must be hundreds of thousands of them. Every once in a while (if I'm there at the right time) I'll throw out a few potato chips or similar delicacy, and watch them flock to gobble it up (always making sure they don't get too close to me. Crows aren't very trusting).
