The Lone Dove

One morning this past week we had been to our normal sites and I was not seeing any birds. On the way home i saw this lone Mourning Dove on a wire. Yes, I was really wanting to take photos so I dramatically slammed on the brakes, stopped the car, and shot this photo before the bird could judge my life choices. There is not much color due to the cloud cover but here it is .. The Lone Dove.

No, it's not a perfect photo, but I certainly didn't expect him to launch into orbit. I was thoroughly surprised to spot a few red-winged blackbirds this week. I suppose they're migrating down from further north, or maybe just fleeing the local real estate prices?
