Finally!

MOURNING DOVE, EVANSTON, ILLINOIS, JANUARY 11, 2010

Mourning doves are not the sharpest knives in the avian drawer. It took this one -- who lives in the neighbor's back yard -- three weeks to find the free bird seed on my deck, long after the sparrows had discovered it. I had to Photoshop out a couple of distracting elements in the blue background; it took a bit of time and patience.

Not really a good job of Photoshopping, Henry. Too many artifacts.
