Bird Segregationists?

Who would've thought that the Civil Rights Movement completely bypassed the animal kingdom?

Last week, L. Woods and I took a little walk along a bayside trail.  We call this "birdwalking" because there are many birds along the trail.  There are pelicans, geese, and many other birds that I can't name.  Suffice it to say, this is a bird haven.

On the way back to the parking lot, we noticed a bunch of birds sitting along the shallow part of the bay.  Upon closer inspection, all the white birds were sitting on one side of an imaginary line, and all the brown birds were sitting on the other side.  Now, isn't that weird?  I guess birds of a feather do flock together!

(The second photo is the one with the birds.)

  1. OMG. I thought this post was going to be about your bird necklace that I like - seriously!

  2. Seriously, though, I wonder if this has to do with the birds' differences in height? Maybe the white birds are taller so they can stand farther out into the sea and the brown birds are shorter so they have to stand closer to the shore?

  3. "Maybe the white birds are taller"

    Since when?

  4. Since birth! I just wonder if the white bird species is a larger bird with generally longer legs, allowing them to stand farther out than the brown birds. I can't think of any other reason why the white birds are all farther out to sea than the brown ones.

  5. see the little brown bird closest to you? her name is maria, and she's very sad (and horny). she's upset because her white bird lover, tony, from woodside, is in the distance fighting against maria's brother, bernardo, a recent transplant from el centro.
