Lonesome Dove
It’s a Trap!
My little greenhouse has become quite the bird trap this week. The visiting racing pigeon has been caught in there three times, and then this morning when I went out to the garden I found this little dove flapping around inside. Neither one seems to be too traumatized by the experience, since they both keep coming back.
Party of Two
They’re waiting for me to go inside so they can come down off the roof and eat their dinner.
Backup Bird
Today I took dozens of photos of uncooperative robins doing all sorts of interesting things just out of range of my lens, or behind dense foliage. I did get a couple of relatively clear shots, but wasn’t completely happy with them. Meanwhile, this dove was sitting up on the wire the whole time watching my attempts. Maybe he’s not as glamorous as a robin, but he does know how to sit still for a photo.
