Mourning Doves

Couple of interesting shots from the BirdCam. Was particularly surprised by the shot of a young Mourning Dove out there today. Younger birds are easily told from older ones by the scalloped edges on their feathers.

Compare to an adult whose feathers are all smoothed brown.

Still have to sift through 200 hundred dove shots to get these two but the revelation of the new chick was a major plus!
