Parent And Baby Dove
We have a lot of doves in our neighborhood; both Mourning Doves and Eurasian Collared Doves. It used to be just the Mourning Doves, but in the last few years we have seen a lot of the Eurasian Collared Doves move in. This parent and its Squab are in a nest that the parents built on top of a shelf my wife put in our garden. Her original plan for the shelves didn't involve becoming a dove nursery, so we figured they owed us a picture.
Lighting stuff (for those who care): Lit with an SB-600 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite softbox that my wife handheld at camera left, just out of the frame. The flash, in TTL mode, was triggered by the popup flash on my D7100.
Over the years I've taken quite a few pictures of birds including some which you might find worthy, and they're in my creatively named Birds album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628206812625/
