Continuing on The Bird Theme

This guy looked distinguished and wise to me. I guess Jonathan Livingston Seagull has stuck with me all these years. There is a sort of campy Zen thing about these critters. But just when you think something is going on in that pea-sized brain, they do something unbelievably goofy or comical.

At the intersection of Main and San Miguel in Salinas, before storms, hundreds of them gather at that one intersection and roost on the street lights. It's as though they were discussing the weather. It is NOT an intersection at which you want to catch a red light on those days.
