Threat

: Threat; This wing-raising gesture is how the white-winged doves show their displeasure with other doves, and the threat seems to work. But the little sparrows were ignoring the implied threat and kept on eating!; Created by: Karenmoen.; Tools Used: Nikon D70; Created on: April 2008; Image Views: 20; Average Views per Day: 0.2; Image Number: 47612

Thank you, Sparkle1103, for your kind words. I really grew to like the doves after raising one a couple years ago. It was amazingly gentle and would sit on my finger like a parakeet. I did release it back to its proper place in the wild, but I always made sure the birdfeeders were full as I suspected it hung around the yard for a while.

Great shot. Those Mourning Doves are so cute sometimes.

Thank you, Carol. Alovely and Whittler, for looking and leaving a comment. I like your observation, Alovely, about the contrast of soft and hard materials. I thought it was funny how the little sparrows ignored the big guy.

What a great capture of an open wing of the dove. The contrast of softness of the feathers and the strength of the metal side by side,

I find very pleasing.
