Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon) (Columba livia)

Introduced to North America by Europeans in the 1600's, the Rock Pigeon is now common across the United States and southern Canada. It is something of a nuisance around suburban bird-feeders, but this one was taking time out to rest on a tree limb (which conveniently gave me time to focus my scope and attach the camera).

Super shot, Gordon.
They are pretty common in lots of countries but still great looking birds.
