Mourning Doves
Uploaded: February 18, 2007
This was taken early morning from my back deck. 1/22s at f5.6 ISO 100. focal length 300mm. These two doves were very patiently waiting for the activity of the squirrels to settle down before they visited for breakfast.

It looks like you got pretty close to these. Nice comp and detail. Great shot, Laurie. #3960262Laurie Daily February 18, 2007
Thanks for your comments Aimee, Steve, and Rick. I actually went to a deck off of our top floor which placed me almost at eye level where these two were perched. I quietly opened the slider door, set up my tripod, and had time for a few shots before the cold drove me back indoors. I was pretty amazed that they stuck around for me. #3960301Terri L.
