23 Morning Doves

Spent the day putting up Christmas decorations.  I used to have nine of these globes and put three in each weeping crab apple tree out front.  This year three were out of commission, so I decided to put some out on the patio instead.

When I checked to see if the timer was working, I found the doves lined up looking at the river and pecking around in the beds.  Though difficult to tell in this image, there were 23 in all.
