The story of the bird
A pair of Zenaida macroura on a flowering branch, settled close against open sky. A calm, companionable plate that suits a bedroom or hallway, and a fitting gift to mark a long partnership.

About the bird
The Mourning Dove is named for its four-syllable coo, carrying several hundred metres on still air. Doves are birds of open ground, agricultural fields, suburban lawns and roadsides, and pair closely through a long breeding season, sometimes raising five or six broods a year in the south.
In the tradition of Audubon, where a quiet pair earns its place on the page.
