On tonight's Post

This morning dove was perched on our post, snow was falling all around him and yet he still waited patiently for his turn at the feeder. He seems to handle the snow and cold temperatures quite well and unlike so many other birds his table manners are excellent.

Thank you for you comments and favs on my photo "Ice Crystals" from yesterday, I enjoyed reading them.

Mourning doves do seem to have impeccable manners - I've seen it myself. This is a lovely peaceful shot of a gentle bird.

...he's breaking my heart! Ken thought that doves were supposed to migrate! Your photo is beautiful, but I'd be out there bringing him his own special plate of food and a heater!

I always feel sorry for the animals outside when winter strikes. I know they are equipped for the weather but still. Lovely shot. The falling snow makes for a very nice background.
