Doves are funny creatures. When startled, they often freeze and stare, perhaps in disbelief, or just because they're disoriented.
I took advantage of one of those moments to get a few shots at +1 EV against the bright sky.

Nice shot, these are really quirky animals aren't they. I've had a pair living in my basketball hoop and in a bird flat made for them for a couple of years. The hoop is now gone, but we waited until they had there young and moved on.

Nice capture Joe. I agree that they are somewhat of a funny looking bird. I have also seen the conduct that you describe .

Of course! And I'm sure GaTech (my first alma mater) will mop them up this year, too.

Thanks. Paul. It is a bit pop-eyed, isn't it?
