Billing And Cooing
March 25th, 2014
There are many types of doves and pigeons in Costa Rica, but the sweet, tame Inca Doves were my favorite. These little doves range from Central America into the American southwest. They look plain usually, but reveal striking rufous wing patches in flight. This one's rufous is showing a bit after preening itself.

One pair was so trusting, they started to bill and coo right in front of me. The shade of a palm tree provided the perfect lighting.

In that last shot he must be whispering sweet nothings in her ear. How cute!

Nice to catch them in the palms... they're a lot less visible on the ground!
