SKWERL, Stucco

 

While it looks upon first glance as if this skwerl is playing the pan pipes...

...in fact, weirdly, it is trying to nibble on a piece of stucco (I think--this photo is on a roof across the alley from our house). When I saw it from a distance, I thought it had a pine cone. 

It did indeed seem to try to nibble, but eventually it dropped it and scampered away. 

Kinda odd...
