Truck stop ecology

Another little thing: Every once in a while I see birds flitting from truck to truck at a fuel island or truck-stop parking lot. They perch on the grille of a recently parked semi-tractor, poke around near the radiator, and then hurry on. It puzzled me at first, until I realized just what a buffet table my radiator and grille would be, to some of our winged friends.

Well, why not? It's not like I have a use for those bugs.

Apparently a semi-tractor can be useful to creatures other than ourselves. Most encouraging...
