Well Hello There!

I was sitting here reading my morning blogs and news articles when a little visitor arrived on the window sill. Up here on the 3rd floor! As far as I know, this is the first pigeon we've had visit our window.He/she looked around for a bit, even popping it's head up and giving me the 'yellow eye stare' in through the window. I wondered if it could actually see me, or was just looking at it's own reflection. I don't have a light on so my guess is that he/she saw him/herself. On the other hand, that window really needs to be washed. It's covered with dust and rain drop prints, so maybe it could look in and see me sitting here. I'm glad the camera was right here beside the computer this morning!After about 30 seconds a buddy flew up and chased him/her off.

I used to feed birds on the balcony, but they dropped seeds and birdie poo on the balcony below us which rather upset our very upset-able neighbor. I can understand why - I would not like that either, especially if I was as infirm as she is and then had all that extra cleaning to do. That, and the concern over bird-flu.

Someone(s) is feeding the pigeons at the bus stop just a building away from us. I wonder if that's where this one came from? They reproduce so quickly. I hope we are not inundated with them because then the mourning doves and other birds will be pushed out.

I love the little birds - wish I could still feed them! I'm just glad I can listen to them chirping away off and on all day. One of these days someone will probably cut down the half dead poplar tree directly outside our window and then most of those birdies will fly away to new homes. But I don't want to think of that right now! :)
