This morning, we had a small freshly broken egg on the balcony. Most likely, it belonged to a pigeon. We have lots of pigeons in the neighborhood, which I have seen as a nuisance. I think they are attracted to the cat food left outside for the stray cats. During last week's snow, a number of pigeons were hanging out on our neighbor's balcony.
Twice we have had snow for several days in a row. Much, much more snow than last winter. The city did put salt down on selected roads, and I never saw a snow plow or shovel. But, back to the birds. Since I am now feeling sorry for the new baby pigeon that will not be this spring, I pronounced the day "be nice to birds day".
The pigeons in a tree by the Beykoz harbor today, were a pretty sight. If you can't see them here, ...
a little bit closer, ...
and a another little bit closer.
Seagulls are all around the Bosphorus. Here are a few on the steps used to embark on the ferry, ...
all pointing into the wind.
Hope you see lots of birds today!
