The mourning doves have been foraging on the ground lately picking up gravel and weed seeds. I took the DMC-G6 and my big lens out for a walk and captured several as they went about their chores. Please try the downloads.

Good job catching these skittish birds. The ones here scatter to the trees the moment they see me.

Thanks Randy, really glad you liked them. You are spot on about their skittishness. I was fortunate to stay quiet enough so as not to spook them which is normally the case. Thanks for stopping by and the nice comment. Much appreciated as always.
