Description
Do you ever wonder what birds are thinking? Do you ever wonder what they talk about when they're gathered together? If they're like any other creatures on the planet, I imagine it goes something like this:
"Robin is dating that sparrow from the steno pool; she's much too young for him!"
"Do these feathers make my butt look fat?"
"Hmmm...did I remember to make the payment on the nest?"
"Hey, check out the guy in the nice suit at 4:00...pass it on."
"Yeah. Let's get him."

I think they've got their eye on passers by, and they're getting ready to bomb you. They're all counting ... one ... two ... three ... NOW! I'm not sure their gossip would be very interesting. I hear they're total bird brains!

"And how about that sweet looking Cardinal in thee high heels?" Neat shot and narrative. It does make you wonder, doesn't it?

"How are the kids doing Bernice? Did Herbert ever learn to fly? " They are fine Nancy, and yes he did." Maybe something like that. I don't now. Curious though, I wonder whatever they do talk about up there. Great shot.

Funny, I see pigeons on light posts everywhere. I live near pigeon central and I suspect that they're all members of "The Committee" sitting up there and planning where to poop next. I like this shot. It's so deliciously minimalist. Great narrative too...but now I'm wondering about a pigeon named Herbert! Leave it to Cheri to come up with that one! It's so perfect for this shot...I think it's the two near the middle who are responsible for that little exchange. Herbert! That's stuck in my head forever now! But aside from that, this is a great piece of work.
