This lovely pair welcomed us home yesterday. I fumbled to extricate my camera from my purse and then its case. I missed the initial perfect shot, but they sat still long enough for one fast shot,
then flew away.

Pigeons are my favorite birds.

Are they doves? I thought they were and my sister said they were pigeons…I think they are the same family, but like to be precise!!!

Doves are more graceful than pigeons, and their wings make noise whenever they fly off. Plus, the ring around the neck suggests they are mourning doves?

Welcomed home by a pair of doves. How lovely and symbolic. They are ring-necked doves.

We have a HUGE Maple in our front yard with two bird feeders in it. Have probably half doze morning doves eating regularly. They’re not afraid of us any more. The tree is right outside my “library” window. Their cooing early in the morning can get on your nerves though! 🙂

I think morning doves’ bodies are shaped a bit more rounder than pigeons.

There are times in life when we fumble, things tend to fly away
