White-winged and Red-winged

White-winged and Red-winged (Zenaida asiatica, Agelaius phoeniceus)

The feeders were in a very quiet spot, tucked away behind one of the service tents, surrounded by a dense thicket. You could squeeze past the tent, lean on a wall and peek through the thicket. The birds basically had the spot to themselves, except when someone came out the back door to refill the feeders. Here's another pair waiting their turn at the feeder below.

Lovely dove portrait, Doc! Makes me think of the Emmylou Harris song Black Hawk and the White-winged dove.

Another super comparison picture this Ann.

That would seem to be a good feeder spot. Nice work here girl.
