Small bird, big stretch.

iridescence intensifies

Two young pigeons rest and forage on a flat roof. The focus is on the background bird, a blue checked bird. They've started molting and growing their first set of adult feathers; brown juvenile feathers across their wings and back are replaced with fresh black and gray, while dull and fine neck feathers are replaced with thick iridescent ones. The foreground pigeon is blurry; they're a blue barred bird, previously shown.

    Another fledgling; it's nice to see the birds have had a successful Spring.

    Today's new fledgling is pied. Look at those speckles!

    The fledgling pigeon walks away from the back of the roof in a 3/4 profile view, slightly toward the camera. Their head has patches of white feathers mixed in with overall gray. The tips of their neck and shield feathers are partially translucent with brownish/reddish tinting.

    The newest fledgling was out with their parents today. Yesterday was their first time on the roof.

    Athena and Orion haven't been visiting at the same time for a while now. Hopefully that means they have a healthy nest, and there will be fledglings soon.

    I like the almost Monet like colouring of the lower neck and breast in this one. Largely a trick of the soft light of the evening.

    Common wood pigeon (Columba palumbus) perched in the shadow of an old bigleaf maple tree's canopy and evaluating how big of a threat yours truly is, pointing at it with this funny-looking light-gathering apparatus.

    This is the first fledgling I've seen this year. They're a tired baby.

    The tired fledgling from behind. Their juvenile feathers have additional marking around the edges and their iridescent neck feathers aren't as bright as adult feathers.
    One more view of the fledgling from the front. They still have some curly nestling fluff peeking from behind their new feathers.

    It was finally dry enough to get some proper gardening done this afternoon. Shattered now, but did have some pleasing feathered visitors while I was out there.

    Also one of our regular wood pigeons, who I am very fond of, although less so today as they are prime suspect in the investigation to find out who crapped in the bird bath within 5 minutes of it being cleaned and refilled.

    Good morning from this cute little wood pigeon, a sign that spring has finally arrived in Oslo :blobfoxheartcute:

    Wood pigeon walking on grass, from the left of the frame towards the right, slightly facing the camera. The pigeon has a light gray body, darker gray wings, a purple-ish chest, green and white on the neck, and a bright orange and red beak. There’s soft hazy yellow light coming from the top left of the picture, and the bottom right is a bit in shadows.
