The weather is just naughty here lately, so I started placing seeds outside of the back door, where our living room is. Yesterday I saw this Morning Dove seeking shelter from the blowing snow and wind, s/he was there for about 5, 10 minutes. All I had to do is open the door a few inches and shoot from the inside.

Looks like he's feeling the cold! Beautiful shot, I am glad it has warmed up a little here now but still looks cold where you are. You would never know it was through a window.

Nice shot. I have doves that find places around the feeders to get out of the wind. Usually under a yard table. :)

Probably one of the closest shots I've seen of a Morning Dove... Nice detail...
