Interesting to see the diagonal slant of the eyeslit. Doves glide the way schoolchildren pretend to be airplanes; wing stiffly out, banking too and fro. The doves on the phone line were engaging in some unusual jockeying for position—spring?

Also saw a beautiful display of the Anna’s hummingbird, rising up from his perch on an acacia and turning about to show the iridescence.
