Hola Bob.bonitas tomas de esta reciente invasora,muy comun en ciudades y pueblos y cada vez mas numerosa y que va desplazando a nuestra bella Tortola europea.Un abrazo
Of all the beautiful birds, the dove is my very favorite. Not sure why, but it always has been. They are such peaceful creatures. Beautiful photographs, as always, Bob.
Lovely looking birds Bob...but when it comes to raiding my bird feeders (12 of them this morning!) I'm afraid that I have the same love/hate relationship with them as I do with the Grey Squirrels!!!...[;o{
It's very nice to see such great photos of the Collard Dove. I've heard one was seen around my parts recently but I haven't been one of the lucky ones!
The bottom pic is funny.

ReplyDeleteI love their eyes. They look much like our Mourning doves... which I consider sweet and lovely but not overly bright.
