I work on the 13th floor of the Cabrini Medical Tower at Boren and
Madison, looking straight across at the twin bell-towers of St. James
Cathedral. Through the spring and summer, I enjoyed watching a gull
family, from courting through fledging. But the most amazing bird of all
is a brownish Rock Dove with a fluorescent salmon-pink tail. When it
flies, its wings and tail positively glow. It usually flies off toward
Harborview, so you might be able to locate it there.
Any ideas how this Day-Glo RODO got such color? EB
