This morning i came back from an early morning walk to find this juvenile white winged dove in my courtyard. It stayed for over an hour and when it attempted to fly over the walls it didn’t have the skills. It ended up on another pot and it let me drag it out to the front yard. It since joined the other birds feeding on the ground under the feeder.
Yesterday we came back from the dog walk to find four juvie woodpeckers in our front yard trees. You can see one’s silhouette on the mexican elder branch here on the left w grown white winged dove at top.
