Mating Doves

These two doves have been in courtship.
I see them feed together and rest together.


Today they made it official.
They will build a nest now.

Spring!

  7. Dear Sheila,
    All sorts of procreation going on!
    After reading your comment I decided to be Mother Nature's Daughter. I have lots to learn.

  8. Hi Mary,
    I really worked on a few of these photos to get them just right. I had to "be a photgrapher". Normally I point and shoot. This series required me to point and think and wait and watch. I am working on depth of field. Each lens is different.
    My husband encouraged me to post the series. He liked it.
    Thank you,
    Sherry

    The birds are so sweet, most of the time.
    I think they hang around me for the seed!

    I often think of you and your Doves. I do hope yours are nesting too.

  12. Dear Chris,
    My heart will soar and my shutter will click if baby Doves come near!
