Description
These two mourning doves (Zenaida Macroura) stayed warm together despite frigid temperatures in an early April snow storm in Connecticut. Friends through thick and thin.
Mourning doves are ground feeders that are happy to pick up the sunflower seeds that fall from bird feeders. They have a beautiful, relaxing call and are abundant across North America.
This photograph won First Place at the Connecticut Audubon Photography Show in January 2017. It was an honor to have this worked appreciated in this way.
