This is a gallery featuring mostly what one would call game birds. I have quite a few doves in this gallery. Doves tend to be overlooked as they are so common and many times frustrate people as they overwhelm feeders, other birds and are quite messy especially in the city parks. However, if you find them in a more natural environment they are actually quite photogenic.
This Eurasian Collared Dove was one of the few doves not in abundance when I visited the Lower Rio Grande Valley in June 2008. This one was perched just inside the entry to the Martin Refuge in Edinburg, Texas. It appears to have some sort of disease, mites or something that has caused it to lose some feathers around the neck.
