Often as I drive to work, I’ve noticed these birds perched on top of the street lights that are on the River Road overpass. There wasn’t anywhere to pull off and take a picture. Then I found they were also perching on the street lights along the bypass. I know they aren’t seagulls, eagles or sparrows…after that…maybe pigeons? Where is my bird book when I need it?

Yes I do believe they are pigeons. They look great sitting in a row. Good capture.

yes I recognize these beings immondes, they are pigeons. I HATE (once again) the PIGEONS. I hope that the town of Evry will do something for us to disencumber some. afflicted…
yep-they’re pigeons….this must be part of the grand pigeon code, because they seem to roost on street lamps like this no matter the city!
Yes, mostly pigeons but I thought I spotted a morning dove as well…
The Guardians name is very fitting, since they are “loaded” ;-)))
they look like the same ones i saw in Okl.
It’s somehow reassuring to see the birds clustered together, keeping company, likely cooing their thoughts to each other.
look like pigeons to me. 🙂
