Can you see it? Probably not. I don't know what made me notice it. It's right at the top of that bare branch to Annabelle's left.
Let's look closer.....
When I first saw it, I thought it was a young turkey up there ready to roost for the night. I'd seen them in those trees before, but not quite so high. I really couldn't see it very well from the ground, but after snapping some pics with the telephoto lens and then viewing them on the computer, I discovered it was a big fat mourning dove!
Huh.

went for our usual 5a walk with the dogs the other morning in the dark and thought there was a piece of palm tree at the end of the drive way. when we came around from the street side i realized it was a mourning dove sitting on the ground! i was worried it was sick or hurt so I got the dogs away quick. he was gone when we came out again later. not sure my eagle eyed guard dogs even saw it... ;)
Mourning doves are kinda weird like that. They'll sit somewhere till you get almost up to them before they fly... even on the road. Maybe they have poor vision?
the doves or my dogs?? HA!!
Haha! I meant the birds... but if the collar fits.... ;)
