Here's a from my husband from Saturday afternoon of a juvenile he saw in the near our home in east , . youtu.be/Duk2kReuvwc. The bird is perched on a rock in a fast moving river, looking around, preening itself, the wind ruffling its feathers. At the end it flies off.

Certainly not the photo I anticipated to get when pointing my lens at this but it's somewhat intriguing to look at nevertheless.

Common pigeon feeding on some black sunflower seeds on my deck railing feeder.

Iโ€™ve placed assorted rounded & worn rocks from Lake Superior gathered from Little Girlโ€™s Point, Michigan (a well known favorite spot for various sized multicolored rocks) on my deck railing to allow most all birds to land on them and to grab something with their talonโ€™s rather than trying to grab a flat 2 x 6 railing.

Little Girlโ€™s Point, Michigan is a two hour drive from my home in West Duluth one way, but so very well worth it for the fantastic rocks there.

Iโ€™ve been putting rocks on the railing year round since I first started feeding the birds back in 1999 when I first bought this home.

Itโ€™s interesting to see the variety of different bird species old-timers & their offspring over the years come back just like their parents, grandparents, and great grandparents etc., feed at my feeders, drink and bathe in my deckโ€™s water features.
