I walked along the shore today and down by the beach. Suddenly I saw this car covered with birds! Yikes! They were all over the ground, but the thing that grabbed me was the seagulls standing on the roof! Oh No! The BIRDS! (Oh wait, do you all remember the Alfred Hitchcock movie of that name?) So I put a telephoto lens on and shot from a distance. After about five minutes the driver's side window opened, the woman's hand came out, and she dropped bread crumbs on the ground. Oh. No wonder...
Good shot, but I would not want them all over my car!

I do remember the movie - it was scary! bsk
ReplyDeletethat's why there's a bird population problem - people feeding these wild birds as though they're pets. the birds hang aroung because they now there's easy grub to be had and make a mess over everything. like those wretched canada geese that live on long island year-round now, leaving large turds all over the grade, sidewalks, playgrounds in parks. and still, people feed them and continue the cycle of unsanitary conditions.
ReplyDeleteWow, three comments! Thank you all. And good point about helping create a nuisance by feeding wildlife. In the brilliant book about the US Air Hudson River landing, "Fly by Wire," the author describes how Canada geese were once all migratory, but now half of them live here year around, and are a nuisance year round as well.
