   Looks like they've been attacked by asphalt-eating seagulls.

   Pigeons eat the stones off of roofs for their digestive tracts. Like chickens they use them in their gizzards to grind food.

   Maybe it's a seagull pooping pigeon?

   BTW, I love chicken gizzards. MMMM

   thank you all for your so called "help" on this but being as no one mentioned Ritz crackers , its clear to me you are all "rank" armatures in Seagull poop, Excuse the pun, When i went up on the roof there were hoards of seagulls which should have set off red flags but being a trained professional i am wary of the obvious, It was a sickling sight when i reached the top , crab shells, Clam shells< Fish Bones, What kind of sick culinary orgy had been going on here?? upon first taste i detected a tinge of star of the sea Tuna with too much salt seasoned with bay leaf, Although the smell and texture would have stopped a lesser man i went in for another taste which seemed like creamy sushi. I spent the next hour sitting in this creamy slimy soup fixing the missing shingles while the Seagulls looked upon me with disdain from a far off perch, I finished the task i had been hired for but felt an obligation to report my findings to the lady of the house, She to mentioned that it did indeed appear to be seagull poop, I informed her politely that i was a member of an internet forum with over 2000 posts and one of which BOB had almost agreed with me, This seemed to calm her down and she seemed eager to have me leave to help the next helpless homeowners.

   It sure looks like peagull soupe` to me.

   Notice how they mostly all poop on one side of the ridge?

   Over here on this side of the country they poop on the other side of the ridge.

   Regional differences crop up in lots of ways

   If it looks like seagull poop, smells like seagull poop and tastes like seagull poop....

   Did a job in Portland Maine, which is a port town. To get from one side of the building to the other, the flat roof was the quickest route. Seagulls are territorial. They would swoop down and peck you on the head, couldn't see them coming. We went to the Salvation Army store and bought some old umbrellas. You didn't want to walk out there without one.

    I tasted it and it tastes just like seagull poop

     

    OK, you have just found something I won't  DIY, I'll hire you or J..Carp to do the tasting for me <G>

    It might be pigeon poop. Seagull poop is very salty due to the salt water they hunt and cavort in. Pigeon poop, on the other hand, is often sweet because of the food they eat, which consists mainly of garbage and gifts from kindly humans.

    All kidding aside, I don't think there's anything wrong with the shingles - or the installation.

    It simply looks like one or two shingles came loose ... weather, wind, whatever ... and the birds did the rest.

    Have it fixed with the same shingles, then chat with a pest control firm. It's likely they have methods that will discourage the birds from perching there.
