You need to travel with my friend Mike C up to the UP and dig old bottles out of the ground near a little town now gone known as "Sunny Italy." He has made some amazing finds. By the way, pigeons are amazing birds in their own right. Amazing fliers. I have seen them avoid being grabbed by the speedy peregrine falcons down by the Mississippi River on numerous occasions. Unless taken by by complete surprise from below and behind I have seen nothing that can take them. Impressive evasive maneuvers. Mourning doves always seem to get caught. Nice shot of this citified pair.shutterhandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07918371988820266386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16096467.post-78664233201249938342009-04-06T23:05:00.000-05:002009-04-06T23:05:00.000-05:00That little old bottle led to an interesting piece...That little old bottle led to an interesting piece of history for us to read. Thank you!<BR/><BR/>The mourning dove photo is wonderful! I figured the name came from their song/call, but had never heard for sure. I can't imagine shooting them.....their distant relative, the annoying pigeon, is another story; there is always a flock of them in residence around our barn and silos.Jeannellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506888396193293867noreply@blogger.com
