ASSORTED PIGEON THOUGHTS...AND ONE BIG BIRD

So...many of us are not on social media...but we often get to hear about it---yesterday, a reader sent along some screenshots from a local facebook page that caters to what she calls "pigeon aficionados". All we have to say is....boy oh boy, was Croton's "anti-pigeon position" getting quite a verbal working-over.

Which made the receipt of this photo from our foreign photographer all the more amusing. Click on the image--from old town Klaipeda in Lithuania (all rights reserved).
