We were in St. Paul recently and I heard some birds while we were stopped at an intersection. I looked around and then I looked up. Whoa! That's a lot of pigeons. After we parked, I walked back and snapped this photo. The side of the roof that they are all perched on is the east side and as you can tell, it is about 9:45 in the morning. That would make this the warmest spot to hold their obviously important meeting.
Do you notice the owl way over on the left? I'm willing to bet a bag of bird seed that it is a fake owl. Most likely it's an attempt, an unsuccessful attempt, to discourage pigeons from roosting. It would be interesting to go back in the evening, close to sunset, to see if the pigeons roost on the west side to catch the last rays of the day.
