And I thought baby animals were always cute...


In the interest of continuity, I'm posting a photo of the baby pigeon I've been obsessing about for the last month or so, which finally made its appearance a day or two ago (it's the somewhat scraggly and bedraggled-looking one on the left, in case you can't tell).

I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed. I was expecting something cute and fluffy, kind of like a kitten but with wings and a beak. Or maybe something like this, although not yellow, of course:


Instead, I got what's pictured up top--something that looks like a cross between a turkey vulture and a buzzard. Not even remotely adorable.

I guess I can go back to disliking pigeons now like most normal New Yorkers.
