Much to my amazement a pigeon has been frequenting the peregrine falcon nest at the University of Pittsburgh. The Aviary’s snapshot camera took his picture as he moved around the nest on November 15th and 19th.
The resident peregrines, Dorothy and E2, are at the Cathedral of Learning every day but not often at their nest. Apparently they aren’t paying attention to this corner of their domain.
Or maybe they’re in a timeshare agreement and this pigeon bought the third week of November?
Who knows? He just better be careful not to be at the condo when the real owners return or they’ll have him for dinner.
Click on the pigeon’s picture to see Dorothy and E2 at the nest earlier this month.
