    They can be a bit like snipers in their own way. Great shot, Carver.

    Nice shot Carver. I bet it's waiting to launch a precision bombing attack on someone! Happy WW

    When I lived in New York, I heard pigeons referred to as "rats with wings" - they are that prolific up there! But this one is too pretty for such a dreadful nickname. Nice shot, well captured!

    Great shot. I like the depth of field of the beach in the background.

    Thanks so much to everyone for visiting. To answer a few questions, I cropped the shot which was how I made it look like I was on the same level as the bird. I took the picture in early June at Atlantic Beach, NC. I had to laugh at some of the comments about pigeons. They are indeed notorious for bombing the unsuspecting as they fly overhead.
