It is interesting that some of you report Band-tailed Pigeons as migratory.
I have 6 to 12 + all winter and all year round! I have lived in the Twin
Lakes area of Federal Way for over 30 years and have always had them. Many
years ago I used to have as many as 25 or 30 but they have declined.
Good Birding!
