Stephen > This is a Texas, Lower Rio Grande Valley speciality as it is found only there in the US.  Raymondville, Texas, Weaver Ranch, June 2009
Stephen > One of the tens of common ground doves that I saw at the Javelina Ranch.  I really wanted to get one flying as they have a very colorful rufous color under their wings, but that wasn't to be.  Peñitas, Texas, June 2009
Stephen > This very handsome inca dove came in for some water at the Weaver Ranch late in the evening.  Raymondville, Texas, June 2009
Stephen > I know many people find the sight of these birds disturbing because they mess up pretty much anything they get around but if you could try to remember what these handsome birds were like before the big cities nesting in rocky escarpments they do have some charm.  Dallas, Texas, August 2008
Stephen > I like this image because of the strong eye contact.  This inca dove perferred to stay somewhat hidden but it peeked out long enough to snap this shot.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Another one of the many small inca doves that liked to hang around the water features at the Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008.
Stephen > I really like Inca Doves probably because of the plumage which gives the illusion of scales.  They are timid and shy, but this decided to check out the surroundings for while perched in this tree toward the back of the Martin Refuge.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > This amiable ground dove gave me a nice perch after picking up some seed from a feeding station.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
Stephen > Taking a dip in the cool water...I like the reflection in the water of the ground dove's face.  It almost looks sharper than the actual image.  Martin Refuge, Edinburg, Texas, June 2008
