Bird Watching: A Gathering of Rock Pigeons (Original Photo)
As the cold weather and snow came to the area in late February I noticed a gathering of Rock Pigeons under my bird feeders on 25 February 2019.
I have seen a few Rock Pigeons under the feeders previous but now the group had grown to five Rock Pigeons. I guess one or two of the Rock Pigeons have been tweeting about the free food in my backyard!

Nice sho. They all together as a group
It should be interesting to have the opportunity to have these pigeons so close to you, feed them, and have them come back to your house every day. The cold weather and the food have made your house a good lair for them. They are excellent black and white images and the pigeons are beautiful! I like them. Greetings, @etcmike.
Actually, I try not to encourage the pigeons to come back. I do not mind feeding them when it is extremely cold. But to discourage them, I will purposely let the feeders run out of food for several days when it is warm.
Pigeons can be messy birds. This is why I try to discourage them from coming back when it is warm. If I do not discourage them, the pigeons will come back in greater and greater numbers. When the pigeons are there they chase other smaller birds away. And most birds are small compared to the pigeons.
Have a fantastic week!
Steem on,
Mike
