[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another one of the Dove I posted yesterday. They land on my workshop roof, spread their wing & tail feathers, & only on hot sunny days. My theory is they do this to help rid themselves of parasites. After laying for several minutes they preen themselves. I have seen sparrows do this also but not as much as the turtle doves. I would like to know if anyones else has seen this with any birds. I will post as WS another view.

Thanks to all who view or critique! Hope you enjoy!
Again I must apologize for not returning visits. This week I am taking care of a neighbors yard while they are away. Thanks to all :} Don
