Collarded Dove (Streptopelia decaocto)

It is surprising how fast these birds have become common in our neighborhood. This one is very tame and while scoping stays very close so I took its portrait.

Shane,

Actually it was cropped very little, mostly for composition. The dove was about 20 ft away and with camera at 3x zoom it gives about 60 power through scope.

Thanks for the comments,

Joe
