Guardians at the Gate

February 15, 2007 lavenderlady 16 comments

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?

oui je reconnais ces etres immondes, c’est des pigeons. JE HAIS (encore une fois) LES PIGEONS. J’espere que la ville d’Evry va faire quelque chose pour nous en debarraser. desole…

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” ))

It’s somehow reassuring to see the birds clustered together, keeping company, likely cooing their thoughts to each other.

I ADORE these photos. Both of them. So sweet. They look like pigeons to me, but I am certainly no expert.
