A lot of people complain about pigeons, but I like them. Great capture.

I didn't mean people on here complain about them.....we have a lot of them in the city park and people around town always complain about them. A week or so ago they even had someone that was soaking corn in anti freeze and feeding it to the pigeons in the park downtown.

I like them too Sharon, roasted in the oven...heh..heh..Just kidding. Nice shot Moooney, I got one a couple of weeks ago in the woods up here near the canyon. I was surprised to see a city pigeon in the forest.

Nice sharp bird image with great feather detail. I take pictures of whatever birds we have. I have not seen any pigeons, but I would not hesitate to take a picture of one.

A lot of city folks like to get out to the country and sometimes visit the canyon.;)

Nice shot, but in towns they can be a bit of a problem, they breed like rabbits and crap like cows, usually over your car :(
