Eight pigeons (thankfully, no strapped dog) resting on the roof of a parked car.

I’m not sure the car owner will be happy to see them or evidence that they’ve been hanging out on his/her car.

The pigeons seem to find this shoe store sign a comfortable place to hang out and enjoy the warmth of the sun.

Seems as if each bird has a favorite letter.

This one has the letter "O" all to himself.

Even the pigeon know how to relax and enjoy the beautiful autumn days we’ve been having.

Sunbathing seemed like a good idea, while a few others searched for food in the grass.

This pair seemed to enjoy sunbathing together.

Here’s another couple relaxing together.

Life is good.

Okay.  Maybe not so wild but out in the park.

… Another hawk. 

Or perhaps it’s the same hawk that I saw the other day.   I’m not sure.  But as I was walking, again, in the park, the scenario was the same.  I saw no birds or squirrels when I normally would.  I looked up in the trees but didn’t see a hawk.  It was super cold and an hour later, my fingers felt like they were about to fall off.  I finally decided to put away my camera.  That’s when I spotted the hawk sitting on the branches of one of the tallest trees in the park.  It was very windy but she sat still as if the winds didn’t bother her.   Instead, she focused on another tree not too far away from her.   Correction, she focused on a group of starlings in another tree not too far from her.  Those starlings sure looked nervous.   I didn’t hang around to see what happened.  It was just too cold. 

This post is for Ecological Day, which was started by Sonia of Leaves of Green.   This photo blogging theme day falls on the second day of each month.  When we are good to our Earth, we’re good to the wild life and nature — like the hawk and starlings.   When we’re good to the wild life and nature, we’re good to our Earth.   We only have one Earth, folks, so let’s be good to it.

Nervous starlings in the tree, hoping not become a hawk’s meal.
