Here's the subject at hand.
So I'm outside spraying fruit trees. The critter in the picture above watched me all morning. I skipped the tree he was in because I figured tree poison couldn't be too awful good for him. I went over and had a talk with him about what he was doing here, and he just cocked his head and eyeballed me intently.
I had to leave to hit the garden center for more chemicals, and when I got back he was still there. I took my camera over with me and climbed up the tree with him and took his picture.
It turned out he had a legband on, so he belongs to someone.
Here's where it gets weird...
For the last 5 years or so I had thought I wanted to raise some roller pigeons. I've never seen them in action, I've only read about them. They actually do tumbles as they're flying. They sometimes start tumbling and don't quit until they get right near the ground, pulling out of the tumble and taking some incredible g's.
As soon as I was done snapping pics, this guy hit the air. He flew straight up and started tumbling. He flew around and around me showing off his stuff. He's out back sitting in one of my big hickory trees right now.
I'm inclined to take this as a sign that this old boy needs to get some roller pigeons.
It's too weird of an occurrance to think anything else.
Whatta ya think?
Cliffs:
1.) Haunted pigeon stalks me all morning.
2.) I've always wanted roller pigeons, but have never seen one.
3.) Haunted pigeon lets me take pics.
4.) Haunted pigeon is actually a roller and performs for me.
5.) I think it's a sign from God.
