Sharen,

The second wing is actually nearly vertical at the point the shot was taken. The pigeon had just taken off from the tower and seemed to be in mid-adjustment. Obviously, the brightness of the day and the cloud that happened to be there didn't help. Damn mother nature !! (or father nature depending on anyone else's political correctness).

The second bird you can see is a carved stone or wooden owl.

Rob,
Is there another bird in the bottom window? I like the bird flying. Wish i could see his other wing.
