More Birdwatching

I don't know how I missed this when I first arrived on shift this afternoon, but when I turned around in my chair I looked out the window and saw this!


Do you see all those birds? I noticed a flock of them flying overhead when I was about to go to bed this morning, and apparently they decided to take a rest on the huge reels of steel anchor cable just outside my unit.


I decided to go outside and take a closer look.



I walked towards the cable reels slowly with my camera out.


There were a lot more birds than I originally thought!


When I got even closer, they got antsy and started to take flight


Quickly they all took off and flew to another spot on the rig for rest.


My coworkers made fun of me for seeming so interested in the birds, but in my opinion, anything that isn't made of steel out here is a thing of novelty.
