Posing

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

I’m taking a short break from my Sahara gallery to post a few bird pictures (!) because these birds were just too cute. They have been hanging around our lawn all day and don’t seem very afraid of us – maybe the baby doesn’t know to be frightened yet. They just stayed put when Tim walked by on crutches a few feet away.

My other bird picture, posted earlier:

Nikon D800 ,Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR
1/320s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Yes, that is some type of dove. I never see them as babies, so this was a great shot. I hand raised a white-winged dove once until it finally flew away. It would perch on my finger like a parakeet. Voted.
