Oh, The Birds

These birds are so funny! I never seem to grow tired of watching them. This young bird is sitting back on it's 'knees' and lifting it's big feet off the ground, perhaps because the ground is hot? They all sit like this for hours on end.

These birds are all lined up, looking at this building. They look like they are waiting for something exciting to happen. The sad part is, many of them eat the paint that is chipping off which contains led. This causes a problem called "wing droop" (maybe it's just my name for it). The wings actually droop down and they won't be able to fly.

These birds are talking to this bike! Whenever you get on your bike or in your golf cart, you have to shoo all the birds away.



The birds will all be gone soon. The young will not return for 7 years when they are ready to lay eggs. The adults will return again by the end of October. This is the only land these birds ever touch!


It's always a challenge getting around these guys!

  1. Yo Greg & Family,

    It was only 103 degrees today, in Dead Bluff, CA. Not much cooler here in Redding, either. On the bright side, it'll "only" be about 95 this weekend, just in time for Millie's birthday gathering!
