If you believe in spontaneous generation, then some bare ground sprinkled w/millet will "generate" some Mourning Doves. I hope you find that this series of captures adequately illustrates their elegance and beauty.

You have some very nice shots here, Steve, especially considering their flighty nature.

These lovelies spend good time in our yard Steve and I like them very much. You've done them tremendous justice. They look like wild habitat photographs. The first grabbed me right away because I've seen that pose a hundred times. Very nicely done!

Lovely series Steve! You can really see all the subtle colors present in these birds that a person normally doesn't notice unless they see them photographed so well and in good light. Well done!

Nicely done Steve! They are very elegant. The ones I get are also very unafraid of me lol They will sit there in the dish feeder I have and bathe in the sunflower seeds. :) Just looking at me as if to say "What?"

Beautifully captured Steve! You really timed well to get the Dove's behaviors and poses. #1 is definitely NUMBER ONE for me! :D
