Looking Up


I met some friends for drinks late Saturday afternoon at the Phoenician Resort and we were sitting on the balcony patio.


I looked up and spotted all these birds, grackles I think, sitting on the edge of the patio cover and looking down on us.  After I snapped the first shot, I noticed the great clouds so I snapped another one.  An hour later when we were leaving, the birds had all vanished.  They must have called it "a night" and headed home.

Those grackles have no staying power Sharon, they called it a night before you did 😊 Amazing cloud formations ✨

I hope these little birds weren't doing anything more than "looking down on you." They've been known to leave wee souvenirs on occasion; souvenirs that smell bad and make a mess if they land on clothing. :)

Re your comment on the coke bottle: I kid around a lot so I end up like the kid crying "Wolf!" Nobody believes me when I'm telling the truth. But this story is all true. It has to be some kind of promotional thing. :)

A handy perch for them.

Did you leave them a few scraps for posing for your beautiful photo? :)
