If you've never seen a pigeon in Toronto please smack yourself in the head immediately. They're everywhere in the city, and they can be found everywhere from the tip of South America to Alaska and coast-to-coast. Pretty good for a bunch of poor immigrants from Europe. I could tell you amazing facts about the pigeon - yes it's true they can always find their way home - but the thing that strikes me most is how cool some of them really look. If you really had never seen a pigeon and were told it was a rare, exotic, important, endangered bird you'd think, Wow! Look at that thing! It's beautiful. The same is true of seagulls, and yes I promise to do them one day too.
These shots of pigeons also confirm our first rule here, which is that it's better to have a good shot of something common than a bad shot of something rare.
