Band-tailed Pigeon Discussion

[TAWhatley]

Thanks so much for the links and photos of the baby you had, FP! I have another Band-tailed here right now that came in from animal control on Christmas Eve. This one is young but not a baby and is very, very frightened and hyper. Hopefully my rehabber friend will be available to take over care of this one over the weekend.

They are very sturdy birds. Can't say that I noticed the stronger feet, but I have no doubt that is true as they are much stonger and larger birds than our beloved ferals.

I say them my first time in the Sishlaw Nat. forest, near Lincoln city ore. I thought they were commons! until my hiking partner corrected me!
