I had a couple of Mourning Doves on the deck today. They are so pretty- nice shot!

Wonderful clear image of the bird and I like the two back to back.

Lovely capture with such great clarity of the eye and feathers. A dove is a dove as far as I'm concerned, but I believe you! ;)

I thought they were both turtle doves. Ok, still cannot see the difference.
cool capture Sally, great composition

@bill_fe @ninaganci although not obvious in this picture the dove in the background doesn't have the black collar hence they are not the same species!

nicely captured, be interesting to know how closely related to the ring collared doves they are
