Of Doves and Love

A lot of doves this week. But some good shots so I thought I would share as not much else is going on.

Here, a really good shot of a White-winged Dove posing for the cam.



"Touch one more seed and I WILL smack you!"



Things are not always so contentious at the tray. Sometimes they all share.



But this male seems to enjoy having the space to himself. "Mine. Allllll mine..."



We also got a great shot of the juvenile Mourning Dove today. Interesting observation: When this young bird was feeding all alone, there were several adult doves all around in the trees and on other structures close by. They seemed to be just watching out for this new life as it fed.



For those adverse to PDA, turn away now! The Northern Cardinals are making out when they think no one is watching.



Hopefully, the new babies will stop by in the near future.
