Field Notes

Description:

This one never went into the trees with the Mourning Doves, so I think it is a different bird - perhaps a Pigeon?

Thanks Liam. I wonder why there were 5 or 6 in the tree and never came down, and there were 3 that were on the ground and never went into the tree.

Liam is correct. I like the first picture with the grass color.
