day 15 - birds
I had to dash out to the store this evening (after a nice quiet day at home), and when I did, I saw that the 'bird gang' was out in full force. There's this one area at the bottom of our street where these blackbirds congregate in really large groups on the TV cable lines. They sit there making a lot of noise, harrassing each other and passers-by and especially other birds (woodpeckers must be Crips to their Bloods or something, I swear), until it gets fully dark and then they go home.
(The things that go through my head sometimes. You have no idea.)
Anyway. There were more birds there tonight than I ever remember seeing before, and I stopped to take a few pictures, since I was in no hurry (and since I hadn't shot anything for this project yet). This square crop is a tiny sampling -- they were packed along the wire like this for sixty yards or so.

Isn't that what you call a "murder?" A gang of crows?

It would be if it was crows. These are just blackbirds, though.
