<div dir="ltr">It may very well be a migrating flock. Years ago I used to have 20 to 30 Band-tailed Pigeons on my feeders year round. Other folks used to report their spring arrival. Nowadays I only get 3-4 and sometimes 6 birds and not every day but year round.<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Hans</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Oct 16, 2024 at 10:56 AM Tom Benedict via Tweeters <<a href="mailto:tweeters@u.washington.edu">tweeters@u.washington.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">A glorious flock of at least 25 BTPI arrived in the big cedar just below us here in Burien, WA this morning. These are extremely handsome birds and I’ve never seen them in this large of grouping before. Smaller flocks are regular visitors.

These might be migrating through?<br>
