Getting some almost shut-eye

Another of the flock of mourning doves that seem to have taken a liking to our part of the neighborhood.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Such a tiny head for that feathered balloon of a body!

Great shot of this sleepy dove - cool how the feathers fluff out making patterns - must be cold ! V

Maybe just enough open-eye to be aware of predators. I'd have though such a plump bird would be at risk from goshawks while sleeping in the open in daylight.

What contentment basking in the warmth of the sun with a little bird nap. v

I just love these sweet birds. So much personality and so photogenic.

That's a drowsy dove for sure and looking especially beautiful against that blue sky!

Beautiful detail, Helen. That's a much more photogenic mourning dove than the ones we have around here. V
