The recent blog post discussing an injured dove brought much sympathy for the creature. The latest news is Skip, our name for the injured white winged dove, seems to be doing better. Skip does not limp nearly so much. The toes are spread out more. My husband did observe on Saturday that Skip lets out a bit of a sound when he lands on the bird feeder. Hubby thinks it may be the dove equivalent of ‘ouch’. Never the less, Skip is improving a little each day.

Skip almost always dips his tail in the water before flying away. I was pleased with the middle shot. Thanks for the visit!
