Nice shot Vince I like the subtle colours in this guy.  He's a brave bird to be hanging around the Skyway :)

Denis,
I meant my camera was getting cold from inactivity after a very unsuccessful trip to Amhearst Island last Friday.

Lack of sleep has finally caught up to me!  :shock:

Denis ... I read your posting as you being out all day in minus 20 with wine!  :lol:  

Vince ... that sweetie is an adult Pigeon.  Apparently adults have red orange eyes and a white cere (top of bill).  Juv. have medium brown or grey eyes and young have a grey cere.   Just some interesting info.

Did anyone happen to notice that the above 'pictured' Pigeon has some kind of disease on it's belly?  I don't have any idea what it is.  I saw a Pigeon in January with the same thing, only far worse, it didn't make it through the night.
