Tis the night before Christmas

and nothing much can stir because of a serious heat wave. December is likely to be the second warmest on record.
4:29PM
This was a first, and surprising. The flock to which this bird undoubtedly belongs occupies much higher ground farther up the street, and the birds usually don't like being this low.
The heat was high but the humidity was low.
The bird takes micro sleeps but can't fully relax.
Too many feathers and can't get cool?
4:38pm

I didn't get the meaning of what the bird was doing in that last photo until much later on that night.

And that, thought I, was that.
