19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Pigeon in a budding Mayday tree.

On a beautiful spring day the pigeons had gathered on the power lines and in the Mayday tree, I was shooting pictures of my 13 year old dog while he sat still and watched the birds perched so peacefully on the lines and tree. The array of colors the pigeons reflected so brightly under the sun drew my camera to them.
