Bird on a wire indeed ... I saw the bird maybe half a block down and casually walked closer with the hopes of getting this photo. I wasn't optimsitic because I figured he'd fly away so I didn't hurry or anything. He sat right there and almost waited for me -- when I got to the right spot, he cocked his head so I could see his beak, I snapped the photo, and he turned the other way as if nothing had happened.
