If Looks Could Kill
I went to Jantzen Beach Shopping Center in Portland, to check on the Osprey nest.
The nest was occupied, but right in front of me a small bird was very busy, taking a sponge bath.
I stood for the longest time, feeling a little like a voyeur, but fascinated with the amount of work a bird puts into having lovely, aerodynamic feathers.
But then he noticed me, and I'm pretty sure he called the bird police and reported me. I rushed back to my car, vaulted inside, and sped away before the gull police could arrive and plaster my car with droppings.

ReplyDeleteThat was a hilarious post......
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky. Birds around here do their, um, business before they hit the showers.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam and Shalet Jimmy.
ReplyDeleteCharles, I have found birds have a history of being crafty. They aren't the innocent victims they want you to think.
Going to a 'shopping Center' in Portland to check on the Osprey nest - certainly caught my attention!
ReplyDeleteAren't birds fascinating little creatures? What wonderful photographs.
Hope all is good with you, Melanie :)
