This dove was photographed at one of my favorite stops in the Greater Vancouver Area, as there are all sorts of surprises and close encounter here. This is the Richmond Nature Park where they have interpretive center that explains the flora and fauna of the bog in that area. these Mourning Doves are not a regular resident in the summer and are only slightly more common in the winter. Interesting how one bird can be a rarity one place and not more than a 4 hour drive can be found in flocks.
