Bird on a Wire--Watching the Sky!

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.

Leonard Cohen

Why would a bird perch on a little
wire...when they could hide in a tree?
'Cause they want to see and be seen
And be able to fly a path open and free!

Live your life like a bird on a wire!

These birds look like notes waiting to scatter and become a song. Great shot.

Maybe with two more lines with birds upon them, we would have the whole flock singing Leonard Cohen? Nothing could be better than that!

Good catch.

I am glad I am not standing under those wires. Nice shot. I bet those birds are singing some pretty tunes.

And when they wheel in flight, it is like seeing one big bird!

It seems they like it to be together, what kind of birds are they?

I almost use my photos of the starling on a wire this week but instead chose the sunset. . . I find it amusing how they flock to wires and then scatter and land again.
