glad you like it, Cindy, many thanks for the nice comments always. Coincidentally, was just commenting to DH while we were eating lunch out on the back patio, that we haven't seen these band tailed pigeons around here lately. They are lovely birds.

thanks very much, Beverly. I was pleased at how well the various colours showed up here. Some feathers have an iridescent sheen to them. We have about 7 of these bandtail pigeons visiting us most days. We like them, very gentle timid birds.

thanks very much Janice for the nice comment. Thought the same about the resemblance to the mourning doves.

What a beautiful shot of the Band tailed pigeon. Resembles our Mourning Dove a lot.

thankyou, Chriss. These are lovely pigeons, - not the usual type that become a nuisance around buildings. These are very timid. Infact, I believe they are protected. We are always happy to see them visit our feeders, but they hadn't been around lately, so there was no food for them when just a pair of them dropped by yesterday. Sometimes we had about 5 - 7 of them here, during winter.

Lovely image of a pigeon and such a beautiful colour, if only ours were this colour.

thanks very much for the lovely comments, Carol and Claudia. I think it has its breeding colours right now.
