In reply to Beverly Prentice. Yes, there are several pigeons with similar coloring. Once on a while you'll see a pigeon with a 'traditional' gray coloring but with a bit of black and white detail or the other way around.

In reply to Genia Naro-Maciel. My pleasure! Juno has perched on several 2 Fifth Avenue terrace railings so that's a good spot to look first.

In reply to Jeanne. It was a great birding day. It was so nice to have them so active right in the park.

Is Dover an anomaly or are there other pigeons with similar markings? I’d like to think there may be others like him.

Amazing update. I’m always looking from then but rarely find them. It’s wonderful to have these stories and images! Thanks!

Just doing what hawks do , but definitely a courting pair of beautiful strong hawks.
They were vividly displayed against the blue clear skies of Washington Park.
Many thanks for the pics, Roger Paw.
