I love to see the birds (Blackbirds, I believe) sitting on the wires at the Ponds. It's amazing how they'll fly to the wire in a flock, each one finding a spot to alight. They never bump into each other, never fail to grasp the wire. They must grip it pretty hard so they don't keel over. Look at the space between the birds. What accuracy. Birds don't know the word 'clumsy' (yeah, yeah, I know, they don't know other words either). And you may have noticed the biggest miracle ~ birds can fly!
Perhaps the following words, penned by Leonardo Da Vinci (1452 - 1519) in his Codex on the Flight of Birds, will help you understand some of the mysteries.
