Sentinel of Spring

I think this image of a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) perched among budding branches pairs beautifully with the spirit of the Easter season.

All is well when the dorb is dosing off under the conifer tree at the end of my awakening flowerbed.

Cold Feet

Notice how the feet of this mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) disappear beneath a blanket of feathers, tucked up into its body to stay warm. Pretty cool, huh. Last year I only saw three of these birds around this time; this year there are at least twice that many.
