Today I saw a small flock of white birds flying (south), pretty low over Montevallo Road, maybe a couple of dozen of them. They didn't look big enough to be geese, and anyway, I didn't think wild geese were white. I thought they might be pigeons, but I've never seen a pure white pigeon, just those pretty brown-and-white ones on the Southside. It was a lovely sight.

Snow geese are white, but I don't think they venture this far south. Cattle egret are white, but I've never seen any around here. Wonder what they were.
The best I can figure, from searching Peterson and the internet, maybe they were "release doves," a kind of homing pigeon that people sometimes hire for a wedding or funeral, to be released and fly over.
