Hi,
The Rock Pigeons that are "allowed" by eBird filters are those reported as Rock Pigeon (Feral Pigeon), as the Rock Pigeons in North America are of feral origin, to differentiate from wild type Rock Pigeons that occur locally in Europe. So when the species is reported in CO simply as Rock Pigeon it is filtered as "rare" in eBird. But the birds being reported are not... rare, that is.

In the past couple months I've seen 2-3 times in the ebird Rare Bird list-serve for El Paso County, listings for Rock Pigeon--not in remote national forest on the slopes of Pikes Peak, but for spots in or very much closer to Colorado Springs than Pikes Peak. What am I missing? Are these claims of wild-type individuals (as in Eurasia/Africa) vs feral/domestic??--(I inquired to the ebird rare bird folks, but only got an auto message back saying their mailbox was full.)Marty WolfNW Colo.
