Diamond Dove

DIAMOND DOVE (GEOPOLIA CUNEATA) SKOKIE, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 9, 2011

Pentax K-5
Sigma 17-70 DC at 70mm
1/200 sec. at f8
ISO 3200

Another of my rehab center aviary captures, this one is of a sparrow-sized pigeon native to Australia. Not much can be said about it (or any other kind of pigeon), but the vivid eye ring bespeaks a male, or so says the bird book.
