These mourning doves seem to be in our backyard all the time now, which is good because they give me something other than sparrows to photograph. They’re also a lot calmer than the sparrows and don’t mind posing for pictures.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Puffed up, and seemingly comfortable. Nice close up.

Great framing. The blue around the dove’s eyes is lovely. V

They are very pretty birds and I find their coos very calming.

I know they come always back when they are happy with the place. We have a couple in our garden tree for many years now
