Folks:

Rock Pigeons generally nest in a sheltered area, usually on a flat surface 
that is near food resources such as urbanized areas or agricultural 
lands.  Rarely, these birds will use natural shelters within cliffs or 
eroded rocks.  Such a site has been found in Alameda County, where both 
Rock Pigeons and House Sparrows nested in solution holes and crevices in 
sandstone outcrops that were near a small ranch that apparently did not 
have suitable nest sites.  Has anyone noted such a natural site in Santa 
Clara Couny?

Also, Rock Pigeons probably nest year-round, but we don't have any 
observations for January.  Has anyone ever recorded nesting in the county 
of this feral bird in December, January, or February?

Bill
