You can just hear Alfred Hitchcock saying “Good evening” right now, can’t you?
It’s been pretty frigid for much of the past month, but it was really, really cold during the 
first week of the year when I was stranded at home…. off work and mostly without a car. It’s an old wives tale that all birds fly south for the winter… no, many of those little bastards not only stick around in this penguin weather, but they congregate in some seriously frightening flocks when the mercury dips. And the extremely loud buzzing noise of hundreds of nasty starlings (I think, I’m no ornithologist) invading my yard was frequently disturbing me from doing absolutely nothing with all this time on my hands…
Seriously…. just look at the numbers in these pictures I took!!!
Isn’t there an industrial sized can of Off! for this?
And people actually feed these things and look at me funny when I leave corn out for the cute, non-swarming squirrels? I don’t like the looks of these birds one bit…
Here’s a couple of shady looking birdbrains.
I guess there was a small silver lining mixed among the deafening noise and several gallons of gloppy bird poop. These two fine, feathered fiends here actually turned around and posed for me…. giving me one of my absolute favorite bird photos to come from my camera! Check these two criminals out…
Hey Frank! I tink dis guy wants to have his peepers pecked out!
Wow…. I am totally NOT going to mess with those two hoodlums! They look like they mean business, and are probably pissed off that I don’t have a weekly bird photo feature on my blog. Sorry guys, you’ll have to make due with a shitty Picture Day Tuesday post instead…
