Pigeon peeking out at me from the railing.
Despite their bad rap, they are beautiful birds. They have a green sheen to their feathers. And the red eyes and pink feet are quite fashionable.
This must be a hybrid pigeon of some sort. He was hanging out with the other pigeons. I couldn’t find anything like him in my Stokes Birding Guide.
“Hey, who ate all the fries?” said the crow.
Cormorant on the pole.
The only fish I saw being caught that afternoon. After walking the entire span of the south Sunshine Skyway fishing pier, I finally see someone catch a fish. It seemed to be a quiet day. Most people were sitting in their chairs sleeping. I think this is a flounder.
I had a couple of hours on a recent weekend to kill and wanted to get out and walk. I wanted to go somewhere that had a good sea breeze so I headed to the south fishing pier that used to be the old Sunshine Skyway Bridge. I parked at the entrance and spent almost two hours walking the pier. I was a little disappointed because I saw zero sharks, dolphins or manatees. All of which I saw on my last walk there last September. Maybe it’s the time of the year. The birds were pretty scarce as well. At least I got a good walk in.

Someone is going to have a good meal of fillet of sole. I remember fishing for flounders on the Pacific coast when I was a teenager.
I wonder about your “hybrid” pigeon. Could it be a youngster? That was my first guess, although its long white pantaloons make me wonder. It is also very slim in the middle compared with the full-fledged belly in the previous photo. Very interesting.

Beautiful bird shots! Your “hybrid” is a mystery.
What could be better than a walk along the sea front? I envy your proximity to the coast.
Great sequence!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
The flounder makes seafloor camo look like stars in the night sky. Kind of decorative for an oddly shaped fish.
I think the pigeon is a young one, take a look at google photos of baby pigeons, the beak looks just like that. My guess would be it is newly fledged and hasn’t molted in to adult plumage yet.
i enjoyed seeing your feathered friends. Looks like someone was going to have a nice dinner!
Your right, the pigeons are pretty and I love the cormorant shot. Wonderful series of photos.
Love the first shot.
Visiting from Mandarin Orange Monday (Mom). My entry is about our Anniversary Dinner, would be delighted for you to come and see.
Great photo of the Cormorant!!!
Great close-ups of all the birds.
That portrait of the pigeon is gorgeous! I think the odd one looks like a cross between a pigeon and seagull of some kind.
The cormorant photo is wonderful, too!
Hi there – great shots of the pigeons! I think that the next bird must have a few domestic genes in the mix!
Thanks for linking to WBW.
