Wild Pigeon

I told my husband this is a wild pigeon. He repeated the words sarcastically. I replied, 'there are wild pigeons and there are city pigeons, everybody knows that'. He laughed and laughed. I still think its a wild pigeon, a bossy one, too. Just before this moment was captured, I took a photo of this very same bird, a few yards down the street, and it flew away. Seconds later, I saw two more of the same type of birds on this birdbath. I aimed my camera, and pressed the shutter. During the digital shutter delay, this bossy bird chased the other two out of the bath and perched on the edge...thus this picture was born.
