Album Info:
This bird continues to baffle scientists because of its ability to find its way home after traveling great distances. It's thought that the homing pigeon uses a combination of navigational skills to accomplish the job. These include a sensitivity to the earth's magnetic fields and to various light waves, as well as recognition of landmarks. I took this trio in the Children's Zoo at the St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis, Missouri. P1300338

I was about to come out with a snappy response to your caption but then darned if I didn't forget what I was going to say!! Do you ever get like that? So I shall concentrate on the photo instead and it's a cracker - you've done a great job with this one. How are you doing with your head down all the time? Bob must think it's wonderful that you have your head bowed in submission to him - a chance that not too many men get to cash in on! Look after yourself hon. Love and hugs, Peter

Ha! Funny photo though - it seems like they are deep in discussion. They are amazing birds - just a little silly looking sometimes! Love the shot, all the way down to those little red feet! Sharon - you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that your surgery goes well and that the recovery process is as easy as it can be, under those extreme circumstances. I suspect you will come through it with a new angle on life - literally! :)

You know Sharon, one of my brothers flies pigeons for a hobby. It always amazes me that they keep returning. I, in turn, keep amazing my wife with my unending ability to get lost even on the shortest journey. Oh well!
