The Racing Pigeon
I was heading into the house on a summer day in 1999 when I found a pigeon sitting on the stoop in front of the back door.

My latest obsession, one that has been going on for the past few months, is so fascinating that I’ve decided to share it with all of you. So here you go, a live feed of the town square in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. (Although the photo of the feed looks like it was taken in the early fall, if you click the arrow, you’ll see the cold Wyoming winter. brrr!)
