We had at least 200mm of driving rain over 12 hrs last night. I have to feel sorry for this mourning dove trying to protect her egg. This is the second go since the last offspring (aka the Beatle) 'disappeared' last week from a less concealed nest on the palm tree in front of our house.

 

Shun, was that shot with the Z6 you are testing?

I believe I captured that immature hawk image with my Nikon D500. I had the Nikon mirrorless Z6 with me in that occasion, but I had just purchased that camera a few days before and was still getting familiar with it. I have tried the Z6 a bit for birds in flight, and I think my DSLRs can do a better job. Unfortunately, I have been extremely busy lately and haven't gone out and shoot much.

I found these two snails having what I thought was an intimate encounter and grabbed a photo. When I checked back later the right snail was making an escape and the left one appeared to have had most of its head eaten. Looks like they're cannibals.

This doesn't look anything like our Midwest USA mourning doves. Is this a different variety?
