Veiw Large!

White-winged Doves are large, chunky pigeons at 29 cm. They are brownish-gray above and gray below, with a bold white wing patch that appears as a brilliant white crescent in flight and is also visible at rest. Adults have a patch of blue, featherless skin around each eye and a long, dark mark on the lower face. Their eyes, legs, and feet are red.

The sexes are similar, but juveniles are grayer than adults. They have no blue eye ring and their legs and feet are brownish pink.

The cooing calls are who-cooks-for-you and hoo hoo hoo.

From description:

"The sculpture shows movements using elements in nature, such as water, wind, and sunlight. The 17 wings float on the lake like metaphorical buoys. they move left and right, and bob up and down when the wind blows. The sunlight shining onto the white polyester bag suggests a flock of birds flapping their wings in the air. It is in this moment that the sculpture, the viewer, and the surrounding environment coexist together within nature."

I loved this near-abstract image produced by the airplane wing on our flight from DFW to LA last November. I took photos all the way throughout the flight; since we were flying west, we enjoyed a particularly lengthy sunset, and as the colors kept changing, I was fascinated by its effect on this image.

I hung the wing skins on the ribs in preparation for a lot of match-drilling and eventually deburring and dimpling.

Injured wing, but still lovely! I can't believe that they land on the guide wire without hurting they're tiny legs!
