Was shooting something else when this nosy dove, out of the blue, nearly landed on my camera :-) The dove was more surprised than I and I was able to take two quick shots before it took off again.
Looks great enlarged.

Columbina talpacoti rufipennis
(Ruddy Ground Dove / Tortolita)
The Ruddy Ground Dove (Columbina talpacoti rufipennis) is a small New World tropical dove. It is found from S.E. Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. Adult males have a pale grey head and neck, and rich rufous upperparts, black-spotted on the wing coverts. The female is grey-brown rather than rufous, and has less contrast between head and body than the male.

Collared Dove is now a familiar bird, occupying a range of open lowland habitats, but only began its colonisation of Britain in the 1950s.
Given favourable weather conditions, Collared Doves may nest in any month of the year. Despite the very small number of eggs laid for each nesting attempt, which is invariably two, multiple nesting attempts may be one reason why the species has been so successful.
Despite the dramatic long-term increase in numbers and range, a decline in Collared Dove populations was noted from 2005 onwards, and likely linked to the emergence and spread of finch trichomonosis.
Zebra doves which are an invasive species are everywhere on the Big Island. - Kona Coast, Hawaii [Big Island]
[Zebra doves were introduced to Hawaii in 1922 from Asia. The zebra dove feeds on small grass and weed seeds and will also eat insects or food thrown out in a parking lot.]

After meeting Downeaster #695, POAY rolls out of Dover, New Hampshire splitting the CPF-244 (Dover West) signals behind a pair of repainted C40-8s anticipating another meet with the #695 at Newfields. CSX plans to retire this control point and replace it with a single intermediate signal west of the Amtrak platform.
Definitely not as frosty as yesterday's Finch, but I think the pose tells the story here with it's puffed up look, and how it's head appears to be sunken into the feathers of it's chest. I am sure it is doing what it can to conserve it's body heat.
The warm weather has arrived here. Last night the temperature soared about 12 degrees in an hour or two. It was like a switch was turned on. Along with that warming we got just a bit of freezing rain which I am not thrilled about, but it is nice to see the temperature moderate as it as.
I think the next time I see this dove it will have a completely different pose for me.
The doves come and feed on the seeds under the feeders. This is the reaction they give to an approaching chipmunk. It makes me laugh as they seem to be afraid of the tiny little chippies.
Stock Dove - Columba oenas
The stock dove is the rarest of the wild European pigeons. In part of its European and western Asiatic range it is a migrant. There has been a sharp decline in France (−57% in 1976). Although the species is not considered threatened in Europe, it is classified in Schedule 2 of the Birds Directive and Annex III the Berne Convention. 100,000 to 200,000 individuals winter in France.
The nest is usually in a hole in an old tree. Before deforestation, the stock dove was the most frequent pigeon, nesting mostly in oak or pine wood, but as it usually nests in cavities in trees it was normally only found in old forests. In plantations there are not as many holes to nest in, so it is scarcer. In addition, as the stock dove is double-brooded, requiring two holes for its broods. It has been observed nesting in rabbit burrows, ruins, old poplar hedges, cracks in crags or cliff faces, in ivy, and in the thick growth around the boles of lime trees. It will also use nest boxes. The cavity should be about 75 centimetres deep and the hole should be big enough to admit a fist. Though nesting material is seldom used, the squabs leave the hole very oily. Stock doves prefer to nest close together. Outside of the breeding season, stock doves may also roost in cavities.
The habitat of the stock dove is generally open country. Even though it nests in trees it does not prefer densely wooded areas. It is also common on coasts where the cliffs provide holes.
This zebra dove (geopelia striata) was pretty well camouflaged by the dead vegetation amongst which it was perched. Photographed in Trou D'Eau Douce, Mauritius.
