Description
I liked the way the angled afternoon sunlight was illuminating this Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura)--all puffed up, presumably for warmth--on a January day at Kensington Metropark, near Milford, Michigan. These North American birds are abundant and are year-round residents in most of the lower 48 United States.

Hi Wes: This is marvelous !! The feather details/clarity & the doves eye, WOW !! are all amazing, in fact the entire view is "tack-sharp", which, of course. is your standard. WE love the blurred background, which illustrates the work of a true "world-class" professional photographer. WE agree with you the dove must have been cold, which made for a wonderful capture. Wonderfully Well Done !! (L/F/Twitter) ("Life Without Art is Lacking" = Bill & Deb Hayes)
