Very nice shots, and yes, I agree, pigeon is a hard word to sound out, seems like there should be a D in there. : )

I know what you mean, when I try to sound things out and my hearing is going away with age, it makes it hard to hear the sounds. ;)

Very nice, Rex. Only see them once in a while here, myself.

Nice ones, Rex. The AYES have it.


Have plenty of Canons, enough ammo, enough to blow 'em to "L". Now, I just have to learn to aim.

Thank you, all, for the nice comments.
Gail, I've seen them like that on the feeders at my old house. They can really go through the seed. Even a couple can put the seed away.
