A Bird for Abe


This dove - I 'think' it's a Eurasian Collared Dove - posed on a branch in the Saint Martin Gardens on le rocher. This is in homage to a real bird photographer, Abraham Lincoln (yes, he really is a descendant of THAT Abe) and is the most amazing bird photographer. Take a look at his My Birds Blog.

    This is a beauty. We do not have the collared doves here but we have the one called "mourning" dove. The are very similar.

    Thank you for the link, Jilly. It is most appreciated. Building an audience of bird lovers shouldn't be that difficult but it is for me.
