Nice shot, Dave. I like the back view with that head turn and it’s on the ground where it belongs. My only nit is that I don’t think you took this in the Pacific Northwest as your tag would indicate.

No way to edit tags after post!
PNW and PAC Islands are next to each other.

A nice look at this dove, David. I am not familiar with the Zebra Dove, but assuming it got it’s name from the markings around its neck. Great detail in the feathers, and I too like the show of his back and the head turn.

I fixed it for you, David.

Good head turn and detail. Nicely composed environmental shot.

Nice head turn and look at the plumage which explains its name, David. I like how you composed the frame. The bits of glass (?) on the ground are interesting.
