Originally posted by subsea About 6 months ago, one of them started pounding on our house every morning.
There are a few around here. They mostly go to suet feeders and telephone poles in residential areas. They are all over the parks. I saw one fly over me today while I hunted for a shot, of all things, pigeons! Actually doves, because I spotted what I think are collard doves that maps say are not here, but spotters say otherwise.
Despite seeing them frequently and having my camera, I still don't have a satisfactory shot. I get great shots of the back of their head. I get the red of their chin line in a blur, or a shot to far away.
These peck the houses. I was unprepared and my settings were wrong.
