Resting Places

On Saturday we drove to New Haven, CT for a luncheon of my sisters and I and some of our cousins  who we haven't seen in years.  It was a nice restaurant on the shoreline of New Haven Harbor.  So before we went in, I took a look around and spotted these pilings.  I am not sure why they are there, perhaps at one time there were docks here.  In any case what I saw were that on top of almost every piling, there was a single bird, resting.  I know it is subtle, but I thought it worth a photograph.  So this was a bonus, a blot post and a lovely lunch with family!  Please click on the photo to see the birds more clearly.
