Old Town Pigeons, Geese and Ducks

As we were strolling around Old Town last week in search of a “high key” photo for the weekly challenge, we stopped to sit on a bench in the park by the Potomac River. But the lawnmower was too close for comfort so we decided to move along to the docks. There is always a bunch of birds hanging around. More often than not someone is handing out bread crumbs for the myriad of birds that eagerly wait for them. There are plenty of ducks, and plenty of geese. There are also pigeons - but they are never in the water. This time, all of them were in the water. It was quite comical. Most of them were sitting on driftwood. One in particular looked like a lumberjack doing the log roll. It was actually quite comical. Then we walked further on the dock to see the boats and the tall ship that is housed there. There was another pigeon sitting on the dock tie staring back at us. Behind him was a flock of geese floating by. It’s always fun to watch animals and birds. You never know what you’ll observe. The log rolling pigeons were a first time event.
