Description


The only lighting for this Mourning Dove was with its head in the sun and the body in shadow. It seemed to be warming up its head after a cold night. The dove was not very close. I cropped to about 1/3 of the full frame for this image. These wild gray doves of the USA have a distinct "coo" sound, almost flutelike and "sad sounding", hence the name of the bird. When they take to flight, the wings whistle loudly. Nikon d70, raw. ISO320, 1/200sec at f/5.0, 300mm.

Nice shot. Same birds are living here near Paris. I appreciate seeing one of these here and so well pictured. . .

It is a wonderful capture, Tom. I know that feeling, in sunshine, in shadow. I am certain we have a bird similar to this one here in Bay. I love to hear its call. God Bless, Hugs. Diane.

...and all this time I thought it was a "morning" dove. Nice find, and a good DOF.

I love the sound of a cooing dove, and the wistle of their wings as they fly off. A nice soft image where the branches blur wonderfully.
