20130220 St Lucia 923 Zenaida Dove.jpg

Saint Lucia

This Dove chose this branch to roost on every night. It was located right outside our unit window; hence, no alarm clock was needed to get us up in the mornings. This image was taken through the window glass. It was nice of it to come and visit as I don't think I ever got a shot of a Zenaida Dove before. These Doves seem to be very common throughout Saint Lucia.

Gorgeous rich colour on this pretty dove, very similar to our mourning doves. Nice to have it right by your window!

Must be she knows a bird charmer when she sees one. What a wonderful way to wake up each day. A terrific shot, Hank! \/
