1. a bird in a tree? Is it dove shaped or have its head tucked in? What location, color.

Looks like a dove though could be a whole lot of other birds, snoozing.

3. MD suburb of DC bird in a tree.

Looks greyish to me; yes, head still tucked in, light rain.

7. Looks like a dove with that pose, but I've seen grosbeaks sit like that too, not sure if

you have those on your coast like we do out west. It looks a little yellowish, which made me think grosbeak, but that is a pretty standard mourning dove in cool mist pose. Pretty bird.

2. Hard to tell, not enough light.

4. My best guess is a Morning Dove.

I have them all over around my house, and that is definitely the posture that they take when just resting.

5. Love them,

but when not just resting as here, they're so sleek looking, which I really like.

8. I love it when I see them in the sun

at this time of year, when the feathers on their face actually shine when the light hits them. I agree that they are usually sleek, but they always fluff up like that when they are resting. And they do a lot of resting, at least here.

9. Hope to see some tomorrow, when it's not raining,

but likely to be windy.
