I would like to propose that we’re onto something here with birds and theirapparent propensity for odd habitats like power stations. For example,consider these additional odd connections:

Paper Company Parking Lots: Scissor-tailed flycatcher and Black and White Warbler

Men’s and Women’s Forest Preserve Latrines: Screech Owls, red, gray and brown phases

Any Architectural Structure by Donald Trump: Bald, Golden and Ribald Eagles

Proctology Offices: Long Billed Curlew and Spotted Sandpipers

Planned Parenthood Offices: Red Shafted Flicker and Hairy Woodpecker
