Hi Karen,
I was with Andy Martin's field trip and we did see those birds.  We thought
they were escaped pigeons - one had been bred to have that fancy tail.

Subject: [MDOSPREY] White birds at Riley's Lock

Last weekend Derek Richardson posted a query and pictures of two pigeon
sized, white birds at Riley's Lock.  The male had a ruffed grouse- like
tail.  I saw them also and was also hoping somebody knew what they were.
Any guesses?
