Such a gorgeous dove! I love to hear them, when it rains, and love to watch them, in my yard... Such wonderful birds!
I have the same hope, A. Mac. I only hope that the way this is set up, we can avoid all the irksomeness. I think the way it will be arranged is going to help!
One thing for sure, it will be more difficult to "play the system". YEEEHAAAA!
Actually, the dove was displaying an aggressive pose to deter a cowbird on one of my bird feeders. I was certainly lucky to be at the "right place at the right time," but, I always pre-focus on a spot where I anticipate the possibility of a good shot. I probably watched/waited at the spot for a minute or less -- when I see birds congregating at my feeders, I get behind my camera/tripod and hope for at least one good picture.
This time got it!
But here's the thing, I wasn't crazy about the colors a bit muddy IMO, so, I created the poster which I think is effective.
"Being there" and being ready is half the battle. It was a single shot. That qualifies it as "lucky" (at least 50%).

Love the picture and I echo your hope for peaceful and civilbut vigorous debate on the new site

You captured a prime instant with that photo. Did you do a burst or were you just lucky?

Taking time out for a peaceful interlude.....

OK back to the chain gang!
I wondered about the colours. I assumed you doctored the photo to arrive at them.
