Today was a overcast and windy as I was out on the deck and saw this one trying to land on a wire in the wind. http://i.imgur.com/AMs3hLG.png I was trying to image it as it was grabbing the wire with the wings open but I was about a second or so late getting focus... ![IMG_1649.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/chromiumone/UebvC79p-IMG_1649.jpg) After sticking the landing our Dove is getting blown around a bit and needs to turn into the wind. Looks like I get those open wings now. ![IMG_1650.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/chromiumone/RWHndtXx-IMG_1650.jpg) This one is about a city block or so away and the light is overcast and a bit dark for the lens but I managed to lighten it up and bring out the detail in the edit. ![IMG_1651.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/chromiumone/GhJ8jRKR-IMG_1651.jpg) This one is looking for its mate and it just made a call and is listening for the response. ![IMG_1652.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/chromiumone/kUAb98h7-IMG_1652.jpg) I can here the return and this dove locks in and flies over to the tree the other one is in. I was trying to get it as it launched but I can only hand hold 6.5 lbs. of camera and lens up and steady for so long and I missed it. Oh well next time lol ![5CEvyaAfMXddUWr7RJhsn4rDdssSqwsN4Ci78ebXixAE6Wf8vt19MjjGZNVNHehSjjRDtMrAw69yQfc2n.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/chromiumone/KDXlqsit-5CEvyaAfMXddUWr7RJhsn4rDdssSqwsN4Ci78ebXixAE6Wf8vt19MjjGZNVNHehSjjRDtMrAw69yQfc2n.png) ## Thanks for visiting my post.
