Collard-Dove, etc.

Elaine and I were eating supper and listening (and watching) the Nebraska-Northwestern football game this evening when this Eurasian Collared-Dove was scrounging under our bird feeder. The pair had been in the back yard earlier so I had the camera handy. I took this out the kitchen window when there was just over a minute left to play and didn't think there was much of a chance of pulling it out. Nebraska football fans will be taking about this one for a long time. It was really more than just a game at stake; with 2 losses already in the books, a loss against Northwestern would have raised many leadership questions and Bo's fringe benefits may have been in jeopardy.  Some birds have to  scrounge for their livelihood and others are just lucky.
