RIP Pigeon Man

The first time I saw the the Pigeon Man of Lincoln Square I have to admit I was a bit freaked out. Here was a man with pigeons hanging out all over him. Pigeons scare me a little bit, so I was sort of in awe of this man. After the initial shock of seeing a man covered in pigeons, it was strangely comforting to see him sitting on a fire hydrant when I would go from my dentist's office to work.

This morning I was saddened to learn that Joseph Zeman, the Pigeon Man, was struck and killed by a van yesterday.
