What birds are on our roof?

[GON]

Neighbor came over, and asked if we knew what was in our roof?

These birds are not moving.... They almost look fake.

Anyone know what species of birds these are? Very unusual to see birds in our area (except pigeons).

All in one direction is referred to as "loafing". They were drawn to your house for a reason.

Just for the record this was a joke. I am an anonymous commenter on the internet, and you can't just joke about these things.

My Wife's birthday is tomorrow, I would have told her the birds were fake and a gift for her birthday. The birds didn't move on the roof and looked staged.

They are waiting to see where you park your car. I fed the birds all winter and they still hate my truck. I could park in the garage and they would still find a way to cover it in.......

I don't know what they are but that sure is a good looking roof

Those are the newest govt controlled robot surveillance birds. They are currently recharging their batteries using nano solar cells on the feathers. Also note that they are all pointed to the nearest 5G tower uploading data to an unnamed 3 letter agency.

You can tell the difference between these and the older model because the older models need to sit on the power lines to recharge. True story.

According to this site, willets are currently migrating across New Mexico. Bosque del Apache is an important stop for all sorts of birds.

to see a beach bird in your area the runway must have been shut down and they had to make an emergency landing to refuel.

We did have a sonic like boom go off at exactly 2100 last Thursday night. Shook the house very well. Not sue what WSMR was testing.
