Young mourning dove

Seen through the screen door on our deck, this youngster was being fed by its parents when I first saw it, but I didn’t have my iPhone handy at the time. They finally left, but the little one hung around long enough for a picture.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max
1/99s f/2.8 at 15.7mm iso125 full exif

Very nice portrait of this lovely Dove digesting what Mom brought for her.
Mourning Dove are gentle birds mostly ground feeder .

For all the mourning doves we have here, I've never seen a young one! Thanks for sharing.

Just what you need - another Mourning Dove messing up your railing... Nice catch though.
