I noticed some pigeons nesting on a nearby apartment in my neighborhood. This is not out of the ordinary, you would expect to see pigeons nesting in early spring in Minnesota, but it's what they are nesting on that makes me chuckle.

See the board with all the little nails on it? That was put up to keep the pigoens from hanging out on the ledge. Pidgeon says, "In your face, building manager!"

This pigeon is part of a pair that nests in this general area and also lost their chicks this time last spring to some crows. Hopefully, they will have better luck this year. This bird has a distinctive pattern and I can always tell when it's at my feeding station--its also rather bossy to the other birds.
