This pigeon was fidgeting so much I didn't think I'd get a shot. Suddenly he just settled and I got a shot. This shot was taken yesterday late morning while the sun was still around. The rain clouds starting coming in from the west about 3pm. Have a great day. Thank you all for your comments/favs.
Amazing shot of this pigeon - the detail in those feathers is wonderful. Love how he's so nicely puffed up. He sure picked a perfect spot for his photo op.
Wouldn't have known he/she was fidgety as it looks to be calmly steadfast without a feather out of place. It's surprising to me what great plumage such a common bird has.
Looks like he's the master of all that he surveys! This is a really nice portrait - sure it's a common bird but it's rare to catch one at rest like this one... your patience paid off Gloria.
