Great pictures everyone.
Pelle, just fabulous. I'm always impressed by in-flight shots!
Adel, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with fire. Even if you're safe and I hope you are, it's still hard to breathe. Take care.

This is a terrible shot taken too early in the morning, but I'm excited to have a new bird -- a Eurasian Collared Dove -- I think. He was bigger than the White-Wings, lighter in color with a blueish head, black feet, black eyes and a longer tail. It looked like the black collar went all the way around the back of his neck too. My book says that the only state where they are found is Florida, but I've heard from others on this forum that they are in Texas too.
