Dear Feathered Friend Lovers, 

Yesterday evening, I was able to take a few shots of doves while they were preening their feathers in front of my house. The followings are the photos of two doves preening.

And in yesterday morning also, I had a chance to take photos of doves preening their feathers. I found two white doves preening together and was able to take the following shots.

It seems to me that doves were preening more often in this winter time than other time. How do you think? And I would like to conclude with the photo of the group of doves, some of which preening in front of my house.
