I took a trip to D.C. on the sunny Sunday of this weekend, and noticed puddles of water all over the National Mall, leftover from the rain on Friday and Saturday. This one puddle stuck out to me, because a group of birds were bathing in the brown water. I noticed that I began to pay attention to to the people walking by, to see who would actually stop to take a picture or watch the scene, but only a little girl stopped and attempted to make them fly away. This made me realize that many people do not pay much attention to the detail of their surroundings, which is a shame because there are little things like birds bathing in a puddle that can tell a lot about the weather, as well as be a cute sight to watch. I also wondered if this happened on the Mall every time a sunny day came after a rainy one. I'm glad I watched the 60 Minutes story, because I'm not sure if I would have stopped to snap a picture of the sight.
