Description

I captured this girl last summer. It is the Streptopelia senegalensis or Laughing dove and is very common all over southern Africa! I thought she could be a friend for Miri - PJ's birdie that she has raised! LOL... Thank you for popping in and for your valued comments and favs on my previous uploads! Stay well! Hugs, Carin xx

Your little Streptopelia (may I call her Opelia?) is a perfect match for my Miri. He is a very good provider - well, at least he knows were to go for food and shelter :-) this is a beautiful shot. the light really brings out the woven pattern on her chest that is so very special.

Though not very colorful they are pretty birds. I had two brown doves visit me for a week not long ago. Very pleasant to look out my window and see them. A very fine capture.

Laughing Dove...what a name! This is a great shot, mostly because the composition is spot on and the DOF really works perfectly. I love the detail of those feathers around the neck, kind of like he (she?) is wearing one of those broad, beaded collars the ancient Egyptians liked so much. This is a great shot.
