For the one on the left, it isn't quite the angle I was hoping for but at least it shows the undertail coverts well. (I can think of a lot of captions that would go well with this shot)

Parc Nature Ile Bizard
Since the land bridge to Gull Island was underwater, I rolled up my pantlegs and waded thru the icy water of Lake Ontario, thinking...well it will be worth it to spot some shorebirds. With great anticipation I looked along the shoreline - nothing! But wait, a rustling in the bushes beside me and out pops.....a Mourning Dove :-( .(things eventually got better).
