It's a Band Tailed Pigeon. I had never seen one before and all of a sudden it was looking at the bird feeders. The next day he/she brought another one to stare at the feeders. They never tried to use the feeders or scare the other birds. Next day there were 4 and then I saw a bunch in the neighboting trees and now they have moved on.
We have lots of pigeons on the lamp posts on the overpass by the freeway---it is close to the grain mill. Those pigeons are Rock Pigeons not this one. Rock Pigeons are the kind you see in the city---City Pigeons
Anyway I kinda like this quiet bird----and he never got any feed

...it's much slimmer than the pigeons around here.
Hello!:) Your photo is beautiful,...lovely colours. This pigeon is one I have also never seen before,.. it's a lovely bird, but then I think all breeds of pigeons are attractive! Luckily you captured this one before it moved on.
Very pretty bird
Have a great week-end!
Hello, you have some pretty shots of this pigeon! They look prettier than the city pigeon.
Thank you so much for linking up and sharing your post! Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
That's fascinating. Another bird to add to your collection. You do have a wonderful collection of colorful avians! That first shot is like a painting!
What a beautiful bird! Great photos.
That's certainly not one I've seen here.
Beautiful shots of pigeon.
I have never come across a Banded Tailed Pigeon before. Thank you for the great photos of these. Perhaps they did not eat at the feeders because their favorite items were not on the menu. Rock Pigeons will eat almost anything not being picky about their diets.
Such a lovely bird this is. We have lots of pigeons around where we live year around. They are so pretty
There used to be a whole flock of pigeons at the bakery in the townsite. The owner used to feed them bread crumbs. Now that it is closed they've moved on, not sure where. - Margy
It has such beautiful coloring...really a beautiful bird.
