Always mindful of getting two birds in focus, it doesn't happen often.
Here I was lucky enough to get two nearly identical poses as well..
Thank you for looking

Terrific! Hard to get two at once, and I love the composition here plus the harmonic tones and colors.

nice double pose. Looks a pinch dark on my screen at least in the shadows and mid-tones but it could be just me

Great picture getting the identical poses. Nothing more to add to the others. Must have had good kharma that day.

Nice job to recognize this opportunity and come away with a crisp sharp composition. I like the head turns as it almost makes them look like they are talking to each other. Interesting to see how brown this White-winged dove are compared to the ones around Tucson which are more gray. Way to go Howard.
