Felt like a good night for a dove. In this case a Galápagos dove. Photographed on Genovesa Island. This species is found only in the Galápagos archipelago, but is fairly common in its limited range. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 330mm) ISO 400, f/5 at 1/640th of a second.

Galápagos Dave proved elusive. We tried to hunt him down, but there’s been no confirmed sightings since Darwin left the islands.
Oh so sweeet! Those blue eyes, rosy chest feathers. Our doves now seem pretty boring!

Wow – love those eyes! Very nice, Sean.
