 A whole street lined with these streetlights and a bazillion pigeons fought over positions on just two of them. Strange birds.

So Hitchcockian. I may have nightmares, but I like it :-)

This has me thinking about that movie "the Birds." The birds on the outer edge give an eerie feeling.

What I really like about this is how the sweep and arc of the street light echoes the gist of a bird in flight.

lol Deb, shove a pigeon in a shot and you go weak at the knees.

Seriously though, Mr R, this is a seriously good find, the sky really sets this whole image off for me and yes, its like a modern day Hitchcock scene (still not sure about the border though appreciate why it was done).

Another really nice birdie shot. I'm thinking that it might be pretty cool to devote an entire photo outing to birds, especially in relation to their landing spots. I always seem to spot the best shots when I'm without my camera, too.

Wow, this shot is awesome. Both the setup with the lensbaby and the processing of it. Nice work.

This is great. I am going to become an Ayesha follower.

I saw the spine of a large animal on top of the post.

This is eerie, but oh so cool!

BTW, the reason they are fighting to be on the same light standard is a warmth issue; flocking when roosting is cold-weather behavior for the most part.

This one is excellent as well. The edge treatment here is effective, unlike that of the broader image I just commented on.

I'm always so glad others seem to have their camera at hand when this happens...I never do...there is something so strange about the way birds line up on things, I always wonder what they're communicating about..I know...I'm weird.

The streetlight structure itself looks like a giant bird. And these pigeons know it, too. They call it Ayesha; She Who Must be Obeyed.

I rather like this shot. It works. I'd say it flies, if I didn't think you'd groan.

That is fabulous. Harkens me back to The Birds - the classic Hitchcock movie.
