Congratulations Annie! Had a good feeling that you'd make your goal!
You go girl.... You are greatest.
ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome!! Congratulations!
Good luck, Annie! This sounds like a wonderful project!
or rather...a beautiful sight :)
This is such a fascinating project! I see the racing pigeons flying in formation over my neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn. A beautiful site.
There were even two pigeon huts on the exterior of a neighboring building up until this past year. But they fell into such disrepair that the bottoms fell out. Now I see the pigeons looking for a new place to nest on the street and there's nowhere. I really hope you make your goal!
