We have what appears to be a racing pigeon at our house, he just showed up and is very tame, trying to figure out how to find the owner. He has a band on his leg.
Well this is a first

Definitely don't see those everyday. I seen one like that several years ago. I think @Fluteman was the last thing it seen

We had one that stopped by our house for a month at a time, two or three years in a row. My daughter was little and absolutely loved to see the thing come back each year.

We ate one at mingo's once, we roasted it over a fire and sliced up breast slices. That and @giles playing corn hone in the middle of the lane at 3 a.m is the reason we got kicked out of there

I'm lucky to be alive. . .
It’ll most likely find its way home. If not, send it toward central Ohio and it can home here.

A racing pigeon would be cool! Unfortunately my neighbor has bird dogs and raises big...huge pigeons for training the dogs. Every year the pigeons roost on my chimney and fall down down the flue. I pretty much have to rip them apart to pull them past the damper through the fireplace and while they are in there, they shit everywhere and are covered in it. It is a mess. I had to get a pump pellet gun this year so I could only pump it a couple times and wouldn't damage the roof or chimney cap with a missed shot.

Yes sir. I'm going to get my fireplace insert replaced sometime in the future and I'll have that addressed. Been putting it off...then I hear the scratching and flapping and it reminds me!Can you but vented cap on it so they can’t fall into it? I’d nip thatin the bud.
I actually had a wood duck come down my chimney and a few swallows
The screen solved the problem

Let’s keep this thread rolling!
I too had a FIRST EVER happen to me tonight while busting ass on my mower racing the daylight. While making a turn out at the very edge of our yard where no trees or tall poles or things are present I saw something fall in front of me of to the right side and bounce on freshly cut swathe. I stopped and looked down and saw it was a dead little bird rolled up into a ball the size of a walnut. I looked up to see from where it came from and way up in the sky was a big flock of birds(several hundo) at 200-300 feet up flying over me. One of them apparently dropped it in flight. That was a first for me.

Since we are talking 1st here I got one for ya.
I've seen lots of different salamanders here in Ohio but I had no idea until last week that we had lizards in Ohio let alone ones up this far north. Here is the common five- lined skink. Seen him last week but couldn't get my phone quick enough. Found him again Friday and got his pic this time.
