Default So this is what a Pigeon looks like.
This guy was in the bush at work staring at himself/herself in the glass. I guess this is the reason I have my camera everywhere I go. Hope you like it.

It wouldn't move. I took about 10 shots and this was the only one where the leaves didn't cover it's head. Thanks for the look!

Actually, I kinda like it the way it is. Almost like he was trying to hide (but, because of the reflection, not managing to get away with it.)

Wow Jamie - at first glance I thought it was two pigeons. Nice capture.

Wonderful capture, it's nicely crisp and stands out head and shoulders above the bulk of pigeon shots I've seen.
