[Leica] Portraits are for the birds...

David - very interesting, I wonder if some of those specimens would be  
able to fly.

Here in Afghanistan, I have heard and seen flocks of "fighter"  
pigeons.  The way I understand it, your flock finds a pigeon from  
another flock and forces it to come to the roost.  It is then  
considered captured.  I suppose there is some sort of penalty for  
getting your pigeon back, or, as someone said with a chuckle .... the  
bird gets eaten.
