........then, after a couple minutes, the female flies. End of encounter.
|
|

For some reason I never see the doves until I upload the pictures.

Tail Repair

180° Not a good photo but I find it interesting how a bird's head seems to be on a swivel.
|
|

This eagle perched with it's wings spread, like a cormorant, for 5 or 6 minutes. I had never seen this before.
|
|

Another odd wing display. It was raining and perhaps he/she was trying to keep the tail dry :-)
|
|

This photo and the following 9 were taken within a 4 minute window.
|
|

The pair landed in a nearby tree.
|
|

The female settles in next to her mate.
|
|

They perched here for less than a minute.
|
|

Together they flew off to another nearby tree.
|
|

They part only briefly.
|
|

Together again.
|
|

The bright sun does cause some exposure and shadow issues but I can't afford to be too fussy. They usually don't pose for long.
|
|

In this photo it is hard to tell their gender. The female is larger.
