Portrait Of A Common Pigeon - Beautiful Iridescence Against Fall Colors
I have about 20-30 Pigeons that show up very day to raid my feeding station. They will sit in the tall cottonwoods trees behind the house and wait for me to go inside. Then they swoop down in mass and devour all the bird seed within minutes.
I finally relented and bought a 50 pound bag of pigeon feed to mix with my regular mix.
They love it.
Many years ago back in Michigan we raised Show Pigeons and had two big pigeon lofts.
So, I still have a soft spot for pigeons.
This particular pigeon has overcome its fear and will let me get close (5-6 feet) from it and take head shots. The rest fly into the trees as soon as they see me.
I love the beautiful iridescence on the feathers.
Yesterday, we got our first snow. So, of course I was out photographing the fox.
There was a light wet snow coming down the whole time I was there. Hard to keep the camera dry.
I also saw 3 moose on my drive out to the fox.
One cow and two medium sized bulls that were fighting. But, the bulls were on the other side of a fence and it was still dark out.
So, I just watched.
No pictures.
Did get quite a few of the fox.
Also, saw a new fox to the area. It is a beauty.
Hopefully, I'll be able to get some closeups of it if the future.
Camera Settings: f/4 - 1/320 - 230mm - ISO 640
