I have a cousin who used to raise pigeons and his hobby was “homing pigeons”. They can be found in some strange places sometimes, too, in my opinion. Don’t see a lot of them out in the countryside (aren’t they “city” birds?), but when I was at Conemaugh Dam/Lake looking for migrators this winter I took photos of 2 very pretty pigeons sitting on the railing beside the train tracks above the viaduct — looked like they were waiting for a train. And wouldn’t you know it, one did come along and they were gone!!

What other bird has so much variety in it’s coloring and feather pattern? Each one is a work of art!
