A lonesome white dove arrived the day before this video was shot. He / she flew up onto the porch and ‘greeted’ us a couple of days ago. Here on day two, lonesome dove was next door grazing in it’s favorite spot when the neighbor came out with his dogs inadvertently scaring lonesome dove over to this tree in front of me. I slowly turned on the camera with barely the camera (or me) showing to the bird as I hid behind a post. It watched me, now not sure who (if anyone) was friendly. Watch as it walks to the closest little bit of brushy leaves to hide from me. Notice it peek out twice as it stoops down ‘hiding’. I realized what it was doing right as the camera picture stops. I froze that screen here for a few seconds. Video shot October 2, 2007. runtime 0:57
