Field Notes
Description:
I took this picture in a park close to old town. OMG it was such a nice day and there were sooo many pigeons all around us. I was lucky to capture such a great picture.
Habitat:
The wild pigeon is found in coastal areas and the feral pigeon is found almost exclusively in areas of human habitation.
Notes:
The word ‘pigeon’ is derived from the Latin word ‘pipio’, meaning ‘young cheeping bird’. The word ‘dove’ is of Norse origin and first appeared in the 14th century as ‘dova’ or ‘douve’.
