'Emerald Dove Sunning' |
||
The
Emerald Dove is a real jewel of Australia's temperate rainforests. This
one is sunbaking as the species is wont to do. Formerly called the Green
Pigeon (Emerald Dove is much nicer - don't ya think?) these birds are
relatively common, but I never tire of seeing them. The green color
is a very particular shade, & glows beautifully in sunlight, while
appearing almost black in shade. The rich chestnut on the primaries
is seldom seen when the bird is perched or foraging, but it completes
a rather wonderful color scheme. This picture is owned by a friend of
mine, so its one of the few paintings I see regularly. I quite like
it!
