This stunning white dove, likely a descendent of birds bred for weddings and entertainment, took up residence in a local park. Watching it on a snowy Vancouver day, I couldn't help but be blown away at how stunning it looked during the rare and beautiful winter conditions. With highly impressive flight skills, it’s no wonder that doves and pigeons have been utilized by humans as expert navigators and messengers for as long as 3000 years! Being tricky birds to photograph in flight, I was pleased with this image taken in the heavy snow.
