Description

McClure Meadow, Kings Canyon National Park, CA. Undoubtedly a domestic homing pigeon (had a band on one leg). Hung around for about 3 days, then disappeared. Possibly lunch for the Goshawk or Harrier or maybe a coyote. But maybe s/he found her way home, at last. Never seen one this high (9,600 feet). 20080426: I originally id'd this generally as a pigeon. Kueda said Rock Dove and I'll go with that.

Yup, I'm pretty sure that's your standard issue Rock Dove. Not too great at homing, I guess.

Kueda: thanks. Never seen one at this elevation. Kept trying to come into the cabin... .
