Description
I couldn't help but chuckle when I saw this Inca Dove fluffing itself up after some morning sunbathing. It immediately reminded me of an old cartoon showing two birds sitting on a tree branch, one fluffed up three or four times larger than his companion. The first bird explained to the second bird "Some idiot put fabric softener in the birdbath again!!" Not the best color or light, but hope it brings you a smile. :) Thanks for looking and for your comments.
