At first I didn’t recognize these doves and we had a few this morning. I liked the pattern in their plumage, they were doing cool things so I shot away. I really like this shot, the very narrow band of DOF gives the gathering a neat feel I think. So I clicked.

Then there is this basic biology of drinking but doing it a nice shaft of light. And the best part, they are just plain old Mourning Doves, young ones out of the nest. Kinda uncommon shot of a very common bird. Most pass up these kinds of opportunities. I just love em!
