Ken and I sat outside this morning watching the backyard wildlife. At least 2-3 dozen Canada Geese flew right over us, a mockingbird sat and sang, as did a Pin-tailed Wydah! The squirrel made herself at home by the food dish, a hummingbird came to the feeder, and with a "Whoosh", this young dove perched on the chair directly next to where I was seated! We see her often, but never so close as by where I was seated there! I have photos of all I mentioned, but my little, trusting friend gained all of my admiration today!
@louannwarren We have so many multiples of doves, I typically tend to overlook them and try to capture the more singular exotics. This youngster anthropomorphically tugged at my sleeve and requested a photo!
I think they are lovely with their bright blue eyeliner. It is a joy to be able to sit in your own back yard and watch nature, in so many shapes and sizes pass by.
Such a little beauty! Lovely to read about all the visitors to your gorgeous garden! You make them all so welcome that word gets out what a magical place it is to visit.
A great capture of this beautiful dove. (I`ve saved a dove child this spring.) It was a nice trip and area. We came home with +/- 90 pic.`s of it and the country views before and after,. Love and thanks from Ina.
