Band-tailed Pigeon

Henry P. Coe State Park, Morgan Hill, CA

This pigeon got dive-bombed by a hawk a few minutes after landing. It successfully flew off and evaded the attack. I've read that pigeons are very fast fliers, certainly this one was as it kept ahead of its pursuer.

I blurred the BG radically.
