Credit to Robin Unger for use of his McIntire photograph in the gallery. This was used for the cropped & enlarged frames in my animation below, and also the full sized photograph. These crops were only slightly adjusted in contrast before the highlight circle was added. The highlight circle adds 69% in brightness within itself. Focus is on the Texas School Book Depository....S-SW corner. There looks to be small "bites" in both the letters "O" and "L" in the CHEVROLETS portion of the sign on top of the roof. Closer examination shows what may be two figures on the S-SW corner of the roof. So just who was on top of the roof at this time?? walkietalkie2 Comments welcomed.

i also thought it is some kind of bird *rofl* maybe a vulture *ouch* but the proportions don't fit it was a good idea Rick to overlay both McIntire pics...

Problem is McIntire's second photograph does not match the quality of his first. I'm certain there has to be a better scan out there. Problem is trying to obtain a better one. Not too much time elapsed between these two photographs. I'm assuming less than 15 seconds. Rick

Gerda I like this one. But to me both frames look a bit blurry?? Any way you could sharpen them up and then slow the animation down just a little? I see some movement in mine. Thank you  Rick

Many thanks for doing that Gerda!  I like the first one best. With the 1X sharpening. To me at least, I begin to see some movement. But even still, the crop from McIntire's first photo still looks as if it should be sharper? There is a big difference between his first and second photo, or at least what we have available to us that represents them, in clarity. I wish that we could find a better McIntire2 Rick

I see movement in them too. Both the areas I
mentioned moved.
Questions................
How tall are the letters in the Chevrolet sign?
How many seconds apart are the 2 McIntyre photos.
Can you post #1 and #2 side by side....if you have'em handy?
Is there another film or still that catches this area?
(maybe taken from a location close to the Hughes film location..or? )
We do know there were pigeons on the top of TSBD somewhere, so there
were indeed some birds up there.........but these would be awful big birds.........I know the
California Condor is big...but Dallas ain't California.

California Condor is big...but Dallas ain't California.Martin, Here are both of the Mel McIntire photographs. Just click on the thumbnail images for both and you should be able to view each one in their full size. You must click on the image once again after being taken to the image hosting site...to see it in its full size. These animations that Gerry and I have made were enlarged even further from their original size in our process. The key to how much time elapses between both photographs depends on the speed of the motorcade at this point. The presidential limo was of course followed by the Queen Mary. Note Queen Mary's location in the first McIntire image and then in the second. I would assume less than 10 seconds separates both images. It is also apparent that McIntire moved in his position slightly between both of his photographs. Pigeons were rumored to be on top of the TSBD roof at the time the shots rang out and flew off into the sky. It's possible movement on the roof could have caused this as well.
