whimsical wednesday

it was birds on a wire activity for this whimsical wednesday.  in other words, bird watching.

while on a three hour trip this afternoon, i watched for birds along the roadside.  perhaps it was the strong wind.  perhaps the wintery snow/rain mixture that fell during most of the drive. perhaps they were just hiding from me.  but there weren't many birds to behold.  i spied a few in nests in the crooks of the highest branches of tall trees.  i saw several crows congregating on the median, pecking and chattering.  there was a row of what appeared to be doves huddled in a row on a telephone wire.  once in awhile there was a huge bird soaring in the sky.  all very nice and a very pleasant way to enjoy a road trip.  however, the bird sighting i was after was the large bird of prey; tall, alert, majestic, perched on a fence post or a road sign.  i'll keep looking.....
