I just posted my mourning dove too. HA! I am more east of you near Lehighton, PA. LOL They are beautiful birds and so large. About 12 inches. Pursue your dream as a photographer. My youngest daughter is a freshman in college and she is pursuing graphic design and photography (photo shoots - bands, people, models, etc.) Some wildlife and scenes.
