[Tweeters] FOY Band-Tailed Pigeon

[mary hrudkaj via Tweeters]

I was surprised to see are freshly returned Band-tailed pigeon on my back deck a few minutes ago.  It was right on time as they usually return the first week in March.  It was with a small group of Mourning Doves feeding on sunflower seeds.

I was pleasantly surprised on Monday to see a Kestrel on powerlines along Hwy 3 by the Bremerton Airport in the early afternoon.  I haven't seen a kestrel in that area in several years now.  About a half-mile away was a resident red-tailed hawk that I see fairly regularly around the airport.  Last fall I had the joy of watching it soar about 20 above the runway for several hundred fee which caused a small incoming aircraft to detour and come around.  Nice to know at least at Bremerton airport birds sometimes do have the right-of-way.
