I LOVE this! What kind of bird is this fluffy, beautiful, guy! Love his glorious soft feathers, and the textures are great. Gorgeous dof.

[Debbie Orlando]

You rocked it, Katy! The feathers are so soft and the detail is great.

[Deb]

Looks like perfect timing!

[Peter de Graaff]

Terrific with feathers ruffled

[Darlene]

Wow, what a gorgeous bird and you took a great photo of it, Katy. I love it and perfect timing as so many of us say, at the right place at the right time. Now you have your planned photo for tomorrow if you need it.

[Jennifer Wearing]

Looks so downy and soft. I wish wild birds were more amenable to a bit of a cuddle, so I could feel how soft s/he is.

[Maeva]

But what have you planned? It's funny because this bird looks half bird/half chick...

[Claire]

Beautiful lovely detail

[adobe waters]

oh so very beautiful katy!!!!!! - i still can't get over that last shot!!!!!!!!! - it really spoke to me!

[Denise]

Love the depth and detail you captured in this fluffed up bird.

[katy]

@karenann Wow! I am glad you like it KA! I think it is a mourning dove. At firs I thought it was a baby but the other shot of it looks more like a young adult.
