Now that's funny. I think we all have felt similar pain.

I hear you loud and clear! Good capture.
I'd love to see it on the chain if you have it.

I'd settle for getting one sitting on anything, he/she could even be standing on their head. Very nice shot

chain link fence is better than telephone wires, which is where our locals seem to hang out.

Very nice shot!

Ours are on electrical wires and poles too. Sometimes in trees. We're expecting our annual flock to stop by this fall. Last year we must have had 1,000+ birds fly through here and land in the yards. By the time I grabbed the camera and had it set they were gone.

Shampoo sounds like an unfortunate name for a hair product.
You're a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust, riding a rock, hurtling through space. Fear Nothing!
