Most New Yorkers call pigeons ‘Rats with Wings’.  But I’ve developed a new admiration for these birds.  I’ve  found that they are intelligent and true survivors in the city.  A little cautious, the pigeon above posed for me to take its photo.  Have a great week, everyone!

   How did you get so close to that bird?! What a wonderful photo — of course as soon as you left, he probably left a little pigeon poo on that railing!

   Wow…I love all the details in this photo, the feathers, the eyes, and even the feet. Great photo.

   Paz, great, I mean, GREAT, photo! I’m amazed that you caught this bird so still. Then again, not too surprised; birdie must have sense your sweetness. Have a great week yourself!

   I love pigeons….I love all birds! Rats with wings indeed, such people must not be bird-lovers then. ;o) Happy Day, Paz ((HUGS))
