Rock Pigeons

I bet you didn't know that was their name. People even think of them as just pigeons (with a lower p), something to kick or step over in midtown Manhattan, but even they can help form pretty pictures if photographed with care, especially in a natural environment. Rock Pigeons have an amazing history: they are native to Ethiopia (where they live under cliff edges), domesticated by humans ages ago for their homing abilities (no GPS back then), transported to every single habitable continent by owners, released or allowed to escape there, and yet perfectly adapted to every place they've found themselves at. I've seen them as far north as Moscow, and as far south as Manila. Amazing adaptation abilities!
