Dove Sighting........


A few young Eurasian ring-neck doves were hanging around in the backyard yesterday afternoon.  The young ones seem to keep their markings for awhile as a young bird before they develop the ring marking and become a more smooth gray and light brown.

The detail in your photo is outstanding. Looks like I could reach in and touch the dove!

Looks a little on the puffy side. Is it still cold there?

Great capture. I was able to examine every one of the dove's feathers.

  The mourning dove doesn't seem to mind sharing a spot with a sparrow. The dove must not be hungry as it isn't even facing the feed...
