Ring-Necked Dove

The Ring-necked Dove is also known as the Cape Turtle Dove and the Half-Collared Dove.

These are generally ground birds but this one really wanted the Black Oil Sunflower Seeds we feed our other birds. He has been hanging out pretty regularly.

Great capture of him

Such good focus on this shot. I can see the moisture on the bird feeder handle. Beautiful.

Whenever they fly in I just stop what I am doing and am forced to watch them.

We have about 10 of them who do somersaults on our feeders!
