A white-winged dove

This dove is looking for a mate. He has accomplished the rhythm of scratchy coos, ending with one long coo they use when trying to impress the females. He coos long after dark and starts cooing again before sunrise. I wish I could find a mate for him because he’s a bit too persistent in his efforts.

A beautiful shot. We once had a mockingbird that seemed to sing from very early to very late for what was an eternity. I was sad for him!

This is on the PP, thank you! I fretted about the blurred background that wasn’t bokeh, and about that crazy high fence our neighbor has on their side of the property fence..I just decided the sunlight on the dove made the image special enough to post, so thank you for looking and making your lovely comments!
