Field Notes

Description:

The Rock Pigeon is the world's oldest domesticated bird. Mesopotamian cuneiform tablets mention the domestication of pigeons more than 5 000 years ago, as do Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Notes:

This funny little pigeon was obviously very happy to see the snow in Mar so it was walking around and leaving little traces all around while I have totally frozen and couldn't move on - 3! :)
