saturday critters

Eurasian collared dove sits here early in the morning and sings its tune.  Photo is a bit blurry but I only got one shot before the bird took off.

  3. Not the prettiest song I've ever heard, though I'm old enough to remember when they first arrived here and were quite a novelty for a year or two.

  6. It pays to get up early. It's the time of day that birds like to sing. ~(‾▿‾)~

  7. A dove? A pigeon? Or an overfed sparrow?

  11. There ought to be a camera that takes the first shot before you've pressed the button (some magic perhaps?)

  12. Bill, you are lucky to get this fine photo. I often click the shutter just after the bird has left the branch. I have Morning Doves that greet me.
