I’m sharing some Eurasian Collared-Dove photos this morning. I’ve photographed them here in Arkansas before, but these are the first images I’m happy with.<\/p>\n

\"FallFall Eurasian Collared-Dove portrait \u2013 Canon R7, f7.1, 1\/4000, ISO 640, -0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This Eurasian Collared-Dove flew into the birdbath, and I was able to take just thirty photos of her or him before they flew off. I was trying to zoom back to about 300mm when the dove lifted off.<\/p>\n

The reason I tried to zoom back was that I could see I was clipping part of the dove’s tail at 400mm.<\/p>\n

\"EurasianEurasian Collared-Dove getting a drink of water \u2013 Canon R7, f7.1, 1\/4000, ISO 640, -0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

Thankfully, when the dove took a drink, I was able to fit her or his full body and tail into my viewfinder. I was excited about that.<\/p>\n

The dove took a long drink, and when she or he lifted their bill from the water, I was delighted to see droplets dripping from their bill. The great look at the dove’s cherry red eye was wonderful.<\/p>\n

\"EurasianEurasian Collared-Dove and flying water droplets \u2013 Canon R7, f7.1, 1\/4000, ISO 640, -0.3 EV, Canon 100-400mm at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

In the next frame of the series, I also caught flying water droplets and the dove’s full body and tail. I was happy.<\/p>\n

I’m behind on editing and sharing again, so what I might start doing is posting images to my photo galleries of certain species and linking those galleries along with my daily posts. Then, maybe I can get caught up before all the fall birds and critters arrive!<\/p>\n

Until then, I hope you enjoy seeing these Eurasian Collared-Dove<\/span><\/a> images and reading the story behind them.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
