    Collared Doves in flight.

    These are frequent visitors to the garden and although a common sight, i thought i would grab a few shots of them coming and going from the feed table.

    #1 & 3 - 1/500 f5.6 @ 260mm ISO200
    #2 & 4 & 5 - 1/3000 f5.6 @ 260mm ISO 200

    Outstanding. Especially the last one. It appears to be suspended in midair.

    Love them! Very hard bird to shoot on the wing, and you definitely got them good! Nice work.

    I like the last one too. The soft shadow on the wing tips and tail really draw the eye to the head and eye.
