Maneuvering St. Paul streets in the winter is a full time job. Avoiding cars parked in the middle and keeping from sliding off the ice hump that forms between the tire tracks in the road is a matter for concentration. My successful machinations were interrupted when I glanced to my left down a side street. There were a bunch of fuzzy lumps on a roof which caught my eye. Much to my surprise, the trip around the block showed this cozy bunch of pigeons clustered close to the roof vent hoping to capture a bit of heat.
As an aside, I also noted that even though the roof appears relatively new, there are some missing and lifted shingles that need attention far more than the pigeons homing there!
