    I think it was a rock dove.

    Aha! I love the way he moves too. This guy, though very common to see in parks cleaning up the food scraps messy people have left around is very intelligent. He is also known for his navigational skills. He is used as a racing, homing or messenger pigeon. He was used in wartime for carrying messages and the enemy would try to shoot him done. A plucky little fellow. As a child, I hada neighbour who kept an aviary of these which he used for racing and sending messages.

    How beautiful are they!!! Thanking you for sharing, 2V.
    You're very welcome, Nadir.  I think they are my new fave after experiencing them this summer.  It appears that they are slowly gaining ground although I think they are still technically considered "endangered".

    • I am partial to the Mourning Dove.  They have such pretty faces and a wonderful coo:

    Not as nasty as wild geese, at least. Wherever there are open fields, dozens of them en masse regularly decide to cross the road unannounced. Tap your brake lights for the driver behind you and wait patiently. Oh, and don't wear a red or blue bandana during turkey hunting season....

    • This Aussie native, the world’s third largest bird, can be pretty ferocious.

    Meanwhile, although this flightless bird, the emu, should not be confronted in the wild this video shows how endearing they can be if handraised from chicks.

    • ‘For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen – His everlasting power also and divinity - being understood through the things that are made. And so they are without excuse, seeing that, although they knew God they did not glorify Him as God or give him thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless minds have been darkened.’--- St Paul’s Letter to the Romans.

    • Not a bird, just one of God's bumble bees that needed to be rescued

    Bumblebees are quite beautiful. We don't see many where we live, but we have a lot of wasps. We have an electric water fountain on the patio in the summer, and there's often one or two dozen wasps patiently waiting for me to fill the fountain so they can have a drink. They are never aggressive; probably paper wasps. They help to keep down the bug population. Nature is amazing really.
