We’ve seen them as far south as my grandparents house on 105th and King Drive! Last summer, a pair liked to perch on the wires above the backyard.
I lived on 54th & Drexel Avenue several years ago. The park on that block was full of them.
Fascinating article and I love the illustrations! Thank you for a real fun read!
We love them here in Historic Pullman!
A few are ok, but if they were as numerous as pigeons, we would hate the noise, at least until it deafened us.
