It is so funny – this was an April shot (coz sometimes I just can’t get out by Tuesday for today’s post 😉 ) and I am part of photo club, so to speak on FB and this one was used just yesterday…. all this to say, it was a crazy windy day here in my home town and my block (only) was out out of power for about 5 hours. The wind cried for this photo to be used.
This chap looks as if he never misses a good meal, and yet he still has no problem doing his gymnastics. Birds could teach us humans a thing or several about balance and weight distribution, tell you what. I am forever amazed by their ability to tuck themselves into the tightest perches and sit easily on the thinnest of lines.
Love your “Bird on Wire” WW selection for the week. 😉
The dude had it all the way! Muy impressive, those bird genes.
It’s nice to be reminded as to the mad trapeze skills our bird neighbors possess. If they could talk, they would teach a course on how to walk a straight line during a sobriety stop.
Be Sorry . . . Less 
Love it, Dale. Bleak and wonderful.
Shalom and lotsa warm hugs,
Rochelle
