Birds on wires, poles, insulators...
November 1st is a City Daily Photo Theme Day and this month we are featuring photos that illustrate HEIGHTS.
Starlings gather at great heights above the highways on their way south. Looks like they enjoy each others' company - safety in numbers.
Longer view
Actually, they were many more birds just before I took these photos but a couple of hikers scared many of them off. Well, at least I can blame the hikers since I probably would have scared them off anyway when they saw me approach with my trusty point-and-shoot. These are the brave ones.

Very creative!
The last time I saw that many birds sitting on a overhead wire was in a Alfred Hitchcock movie. :)
Like Andy said!
I knew you would feature birds in your "heights" post. Nice!
Wonderful theme day shots.
I had no idea that Starlings had so many dots on their bodies. I love the comment earlier on the birds on the wires, sure does remind me of that Hitchcock movie. Great images today!
The starlings are very social. The like to congregate together rather than spread out.
Beautiful birds photos!
Greetings, RW & SK
Love it!! Nice shots and great heights. MB
Never realized how pretty starlings were...their looks actually match the name, which I've always thought was poetic.
=)
HI EG Funnily I saw a similar thing yesterday. it is a lovely time of the year to see Starlings as their plumage is at its best. Looked the last shot.
This is a dangerous zone to stay underneath.....
Starlings are amazing birds, and much more so when they gather together
Really, what would birds do without telephone polls and wires? :-)
A friendly flock of friends.
There are not so many birds around here, since the frost last week...
That's a convention!
I always like seeing birds clustered on wires like that, seems like they are visiting one another. Great close up of the Starlings.

The starling are darling. Do you remember the movie, "Bird on a Wire"? I think the two leads fell in love and are still together although they never married. Do you remember their names? No fair going to Wikipedia! :)
glad you showed the closeup, they are pretty little birds and that first shot is A-Mazing... Bird Wire ART
wow, your point and shoot sure gets up close and personal! super!!
oh, this is great!!
This is a nice pick for the theme. We have been having similar gatherings lately.
Very nice! I know starlings are considered a nuisance bird, but I love their markings. Especially the immature ones. Have a great weekend!
They do like to flock together especially in the fall!
This is definitely the most fun heights post!
Interesting and really striking contribution to the theme day.Have a good weekend!
Theme day has a lot on offer and I love your choices here. Super shots!
That's a lot of birds! Love the last close shot.
