White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica) are semi-tropical doves whose native range extends from the southwestern U.S. through Mexico and Central America, into parts of western South America, and to some Caribbean islands. They are also residents in Florida, where they were introduced. The majority of White-winged Doves are seasonally migratory. They overwinter in Mexico and Central America and come to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico in April to breed, departing again in September. Some will overwinter in their breeding range, especially in residential areas where food remains available. In the southern parts of their range, they are year-round residents. There are twelve subspecies of White-winged Doves. Western or Desert White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica mearnsii) and Eastern White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica asiatica) are the most numerous and widely distributed subspecies.
White-winged Doves feed on a variety of seeds, grain, and fruit that vary depending on their range and seasonal availability. They consume seeds and fruits of wild trees, grasses, and herbaceous plants, as well as those of ornamental cultivars. Domestic grain crops including sunflower, barley, sesame, sorghum, wheat, corn, and safflower are also an important food source in many parts of White-winged Dove’s range. To supplement their seed-based diet, White-winged Doves will also ingest shells of small snails and other gastropods, or bits of bone extracted from raptor pellets or mammal feces. The bones and shell are an important source of calcium for the doves, necessary for eggshell and crop milk production.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
Sometimes strange things happen with flowers, again like with people... this one opened in an unusual way...
Lilium longiflorum.
This plant is native to Japan and the Ryūkyū Islands.
It is a stem rooting lily, growing up to 1 m high and bears a number of trumpet shaped, white, very fragrant, and outward facing flowers.
Have a good day and thanks for your visit, so very much appreciated, Magda, (*_*)

I loved the soft light and smooth background on this Semipalmated Plover tonight.
Did you know these birds get their name from the short webbing between their toes? This partial webbing helps them run across soft, muddy shorelines without sinking into the muck.
This close-up portrait was captured just down the road at North Point. Located right on the Lake Michigan shoreline here in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, it is a premier Great Lakes birding hotspot for migratory species.
The best part? I live just four blocks from this great location!
Semi-truck parked along a side street on the north side of Houston Texas. Photo was taken with a Canon 80D, with an EOS 18-135mm lens, with adjustments made in post-processing.
TT103, with TT104 at the rear, head towards Carramar along the SSFL with 2196 from the Peppertree Quarry at Medway to Enfield.
For whatever reason, the front 10 RHKY wagons were empty, with the remaining 24 loaded.
