Spotted this 'Spotted Dove" in close proximity just outside my window this morning that had perched itself on the tree branch. Though it is not a unique or rare bird, I was mesmerised by its coo which is a low, sweet sound that a bird makes. Perhaps this dove had built a nest in this tree and it was cooing for a while allowing me to take some nice photographs. A spotted dove's feathers are brown tinted with pink that gives a rosy buff look to them. This bird has a black beak and a long slender body. They have a black and white collar. On its neck is a black and white spotted half collar and alternate black and white feathers on the wings and tail. What do I imagine from this photograph?

It probably wants to ask me what I am looking at or what is my issue ? But nevertheless, this bird though not colourful, is really pretty and beautiful !
