This Mourning Dove wasn't seen at the marsh this morning ('tho I have seen them there), but on the path that runs from St. Anthony Street across to the marsh entrance. It is one of a pair that I encounter nearly every morning in the same location. I include it here because I noticed, when I enlarged the shot, that the bird's right foot is misshapen. Its toes curl under, and it walks on the top of its 'wrist'. I can imagine that it must have difficulty clinging to a branch. It looks healthy (the partially closed eye in the shot is not permanent; its eye was wide open in other shots).
