King of Pigeons

Ok - I know it's just a pigeon, but cut me some slack here! It`s winter in Toronto and it`s pretty slim-pickings when it comes to local wildlife!

Tx for comments from yesterday on the headache meds. I probably shouldn`t complain - I`ve had much worse!

I can't help but look at a pigeon and think "rats with wings!" But you got a nice closeup here. I like his tuft.

[Cavemonster]

like his crown :)

[inertia]

haha this is a queen =).. nice shot..

[Cathy Misze]

LOL! I here you about winter time. We are getting winter now in Michigan. I just love this shot. When I first looked at it I thought snow on his head, then when I made it bigger I was like nope not snow. LOL

Very cute white thing on his head.

[Yvonne]

haha, so cute =)

[Juliette Packham]

great shot - love the focus - and that feather on his head is precious!

@reemo @cavemonster @inertie @camisze @tacetstudios @saaski @sparkle tx... i did think he was quite spectacular - and i was totally in love with the eye...

inertia - seriously - a girl pigeon? i wouldn't have had a clue... i suspect i know even less about ornithology than i do about photography! ;p

[Cora]

Ha ha! Nothing's wrong with a picture of a pigeon. I posted a picture of a squirrel today, so I say we're even. ;-)

Adorable!

@northy totally a feminist.. all things of which.. of whom I don't know the sex.. are feminin.. therefore she is a queen =D.... ain't ornithologist either.. lol..

[☠northy]

@inertie i bow to your greater wisdom on this :) [i was going to say that the two tufted pigeons i saw were larger than the others, but of course, that wouldn't have made my assumption any more sound, nor would that fact in any way alter the logic which you have applied!]

Love the grey on grey with a little splash of colour from the eye

At this time of year you just take what you can get! Lovely pigeon, great focus and I thought it was snow in the thumbnail too!

[Kate Klinck]

love this!!
