I was out shopping today, and I spotted this tiny bird sitting on the edge of a parking-lot median. It's hard to tell from the picture, but half its body was hanging off the ledge naturally condensing the chest feathers into its pectoral region. Because of this unusual posture, this bird looked just like a Peep.
It's strange, almost meta, that the abstract design of the marshmallow Peep was actually emulated by a real life bird. Maybe this isn't a big deal to someone who spends more time with birds and their reclining postures. But for me, a city boy, I can easily say this was the highlight of my weekend...and it's not even Labor Day yet.
