Victoria Crowned Pigeon Nest

At the Minnesota Zoo in May, a pair of Victoria crowned pigeons worked on a nest.

The gentleman--I assume--delivered a piece of nest material...

and presented it to the lady.

The lady placed it just so.

The gentleman went for more. He flew right by and disappeared on the ground into the foliage behind me.

These birds are the size of a large chicken and are gorgeous. I've posted about the Columbus Zoo's pair.

  2. You caught that one on the wing while his face is completely clear, nice shot.
