      Focusing/autofocusing on such a small bird so far away is always the challenge. Used the fairly consistent “prefocus to a point in space” followed by waiting for the bird to enter that space, then fine focusing. Lots of the shots in this set came our poorly, but – more by luck than anything – there were enough for a nice sequence.

      Seems like there is far fewer Collared Doves around than White-winged Dove & Mourning Dove, so always nice to see.
