Mourning Dove Under a Butterfly Bush
May 27, 2018 15:31:10 #
During a heavy feeding frenzy (I had just refilled the feeders and it was late afternoon.) this Mourning Dove found a quiet play with fallen seeds from a feeder overhead. Didn't have the larger Collared Doves to compete against, just sparrows and finches. This spot is under the plant's overhang from terra cotta pot (cloned out part of the pot almost touching the beak). Food, shade, pretty flowers, a breeze and sheltered; what more could you want for a snack break area?

I really like this. Beautiful colors and a quirky but very effective composition.

Thank a lot. I think the flowers compliment the dove and the blue eye ring.
I violated about a page of composition "rules" but I (and several other people) like it anyway.
