Description
Beautiful Dove sits among the Marigolds in the early morning sunlight with bokeh in the green Summer background. Wonderful for any wall in your home or office or perhaps a greeting card. Many more wonderful works can be found in my various galleries, from photographs and photoart to digital creations and abstracts. Thanks for browsing, commenting and most of all for any purchases. Debbie Portwood :D...................................(MORNING DOVE - A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that�s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments. When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted species in North America......Size & Shape - Plump-bodied and long-tailed, with short legs, small bill, and a head that looks particularly small in comparison to the body. The long, pointed tail is unique among North American doves.......Color Pattern - Mourning Doves often match their open-country surroundings. They�re delicate brown to buffy-tan overall, with black spots on the wings and black-bordered white tips to the tail feathers..........Behavior - Mourning Doves fly fast on powerful wingbeats, sometimes making sudden ascents, descents, and dodges, their pointed tails stretching behind them...........Habitat - You can see Mourning Doves nearly anywhere except the deep woods. Look for them in fields or patches of bare ground, or on overhead perches like telephone wires. More great information on this or any other bird can be found at www.allaboutbirds.org

Beautifully composed, lit and processed. I've been trying to get a good photo of a dove for a long time. This is the prettiest one that I have ever seen. f/v
