Viva il Papa!


Gull on Sistine Chapel chimney



Ok so I couldn't resist lol!  For all who do not know the Catholic Church now has a new pope.  The media has been filming the Sistine Chapel looking for the white smoke that will appear when a new pope has been chosen (black smoke if one has not been chosen yet).  Oddly a few hours before the vote was made a seagull (I'm guessing a Herring Gull) was flying over the chapel and landed and sat on top of that chimney!  Not only was that odd but also the new pope chose the name Francis after St. Francis who is the patron Saint of animals!  So of course I couldn't resist to post this picture I found while Googling the story.  Hope everyone had a great day and Happy Birding! :)
