Mourning Dove

Description

The third piece in my iridescent bird series. The mourning dove (Zenaida macroura). I'm sure many of you have seen and heard this bird. It has a soft call – "CooOOoo-woo-woo-woooo" – that always puts me into a peaceful mood.

The males, depending on the season and age, tend to develop a vibrant patch of iridescent feathers on their neck. If they tip their head just the right way, you can see the beautiful shimmering of yellow, orange, and pink. So, next time you spot one, definitely take a closer look!

I used your dove in a chillwave mix I made in a couple of pictures if that's fine, and I did credit you :)
