Bird

| This is not a dove. This isn't a close-up. This isn't even in focus. This is, however, the only bird shot I had for today's theme. |
I am an idiot.
I had the perfect opportunity to get a close up, focused and clear shot of a bird and I blew it. When I entered my room to go to bed on Thursday night, I startled what I first thought was a "Money Bat" (a Black Witch moth common to the Bahamas that can grow very large in size) since there was all this flapping going on. After turning on the light, I discovered it was only a mourning dove.
Knowing that it wasn't going to leave the room because it was too dark by then, I left it perched atop one of the ceiling fan blades to stare sideways at me (you know, in that creepy head-bobbing way that mourning doves do) for the rest of the night.
There it was, the following morning, sitting on the ceiling fan. So, I opened the door to the balcony to allow the dove to regain its freedom and then plodded off downstairs to grab my morning coffee.
As I sat at the table sipping coffee and clearing the sleep out of my eyes, I glanced over to see what was up and coming in the list of
And there it was: Day 2o: Bird.
Needless to say, the dove had already flown the coop.
I am an idiot.
