Racing Homer Pigeon (2 photos)

A visitor appeared this afternoon on our kitchen windowsill.The yellow band
on his right leg said Montreal West and had the website for the Canadian Pigeon
Racing Union and CU 2014 plus the number 1415. The green band on his left leg
appears to have a small box on the back, perhaps a RFID chip to log in when he
arrives back home. I've sent these details to the website to alert whoever owns
this pigeon that he'll be waiting out the rain in Nepean. He gobbled up the seed
I put out for him and hung around for a few hours.

I hope he enjoyed his vacation at your home. He is a handsome devil!!

How serendipitous, Linda. Lovely images; and great story.

Great shot and information concerning the wayward bird. Hope he reaches his destination once the rain stops.

The pigeon is so beautiful and what a fascinating account. Wonder if you will hear anything about whether he returns home.
