A less welcome visitor

More bird photos, but nearly all of goldfinches. This pigeon put in a brief appearance, and although I normally chase them off (they scoff all the food and keep the smaller birds away), I let this one stay long enough to get a few photos. The light was much brighter for photography today, so I was able to use a more reasonable ISO, but unfortunately there was sun falling partly on the feeder for much of the day, which resulted in very uneven lighting - real ‘soot and whitewash’ conditions.
