I like the light you caught under the breast of some of those dove shots! Great stuff!

Great stuff, Ron. It appears that you have at least three species of doves in your series[Whitewing, Mourning, and Inca}.

Thanks Bill for viewing and your comments...haven't had any Inca doves so far this year...the other dove in the photos is the Eurasian Collared Dove or Ring-necked Dove...can't believe how fast this dove is populating...a year ago I only saw maybe 2-3 in my backyard...now they probably outnumber the Mourning Doves...
