Band-tailed Pigeon Our Yard 6-1-2023: While waiting for the sky to fall, I noted this pigeon on the ground in front of me. So I aimed my 500pF encrusted Z9 at the bird and fired away.

While waiting for the sky to fall, I noted this pigeon on the ground in front of me. So I aimed my 500pF encrusted Z9 at the bird and fired away. It flew up then turned in mid-air- AF missed most of this activity- and I caught a flew decent shots while the bird was on its way out.

Wow, do you get these birds regularly in your area? The only one I have ever seen was at a distance in Costa Rica, and your photos are MUCH better than mine. These are great. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I shoot with the same rig - love it.

Thanx! They first showed up last year about this time. Very shy large birds larger than crows.
