A beautiful Pigeon...

I saw him yesterday,flying in to a HUGE pine-tree,today he came to my house.
He is very unusual,if he was a cat,I'd say an Angora,he has curly-like white and black feathers.
Looks like he has a dark mohawk hairdo..

He really is pretty!!

Think he's escaped from someone's coop? I know that racing pigeons often go astray and hook up with the local flocks. Maybe you have a new neighbor.

Hazel,I believe he is a domesticated Pigeon,he is not as afraid as my regular Pigeons.
He did end up coming down to eat with the others and was he ever eating,I was really happy to see him eat.
He is bigger than the regular Pigeons..

Wow! He's a stunner!

How close did you get to him Chico2? Unless you have a super zoom lens, he looks pretty near to you.
