and a Partridge In A Pear Tree

ok so it's actually a Mourning Dove in an apple tree... it's the spirit of the thing ;-) Captured this fellow this morning after a night of sticky, wet snow...

Lovely capture of such a neat bird. I love hearing their call....sad sounding but beatiful.

Love the off-setting of the bird. Snowflakes on limbs really sets the animal's coloring.
