Anyone missing their mourning doves? Happy to return them.

At least 16 doves perched on snow covered branches of my backyard spruce. There were at least another dozen at my feeders at the same time.

I find that Belted Kingfisher are usually quite skittish but this one allowed me to come fairly close. #birds #birdphotography #kingfishers
Profile photo of a female Belted Kingfisher perched on a mossy stick with its blue-gray head and back, white body with chestnut flanks and upper chest blue-brown band. It’s thick, dagger-like bill points to the right. Beyond the bird is the blurred out brown of a marsh setting.
