President's Island
Shelby Co. TN
I met Gail King down on the island today about noon. After a long search
we came across one White-winged Dove perched with a group of mixed doves.
This bird stayed put and we had a detailed study of its structure and
behavior for the good part of an hour. Gail got so good that she picked up a
second bird by just having a fleeting look the head and bill through her
glasses
at about 50 yards. It took a few minutes before the second bird flew out
into the open and then the two sat on a wire above the road.

What is this feathered thing that lifts my heart to the heavens.
