Critters at the Mall
I snapped these at the grocery store the other day. We were on our way into the mall and the noise from chirping birds was overwhelming. I started looking around to see where it was coming from, and was surprised to find they had congregated on top of the shopping carts. These don’t give the full effect because as I got close enough to snap the picture, most of them flew away. :)
For more cool critter photos, check out Camera Critters. And don’t forget about Weekend Reflections for some amazing reflection photos.
Have a great first weekend of 2010!

Why thank you kind sir! :) There were so many people around I’m surprised that even those few stayed still long enough for me to capture them. :)
How funny! There must be a lot of crumb locked up in the carts!

Thanks! The reflections were almost an afterthought. I was so focused on trying to capture the birds I didn’t even see the reflections until I got home and downloaded everything.
Birds gotta shop too, right?
Happy new year!
I played too :)

Neat reflection, Fun shot of the birds, but the best part is the composition of the stacked carts. Happy New Year

Very nice catch! Very nice post! Although they are not as close to us as dogs and cats birds also share the “city life” with us. Happy New Year!

First I would like to compliment you on the nice pictures, I especially like the top one. It’s funny because yesterday at the grocery store I noticed that most of the carts were gone from the normal spot and the ground was covered with bird poop. I think our birds had the same idea. :)
James´s last blog ..New Year’s Day (Weekend Reflections #15)
Thanks James! That’s really funny about your shopping carts. I was at the store again today and there were no birds in sight. Maybe they headed south for a little cross-border shopping. :)
