I had some kayak fun today in Monterrey being a "diver tender" for the harbor cleanup dive. There were two highpoints of the the day, for me. First was the small octopus found living inside a _lawnmower_ recovered from the harbor. Second was a diving? pigeon. I was paddling along following some diver bubbles when I noticed a bird nearby. Looking over I saw that it wasnt' a normal marine bird but a pigeon that was floating along with it's neck and head out of the water. I paddled over and grabbed it and put in my boat where it sat looking rather dismal. I don't know how it got there, but I gave it to one of the boats taking divers back to the beach and they said they'd try to put it somewhere safe so it could dry out. Anyone else ever see a pigeon in the water? I seem to remember resembling that rather cold/wet pigeon in this very same area not so many moons ago.
