Since there was a twig in her mouth, I assumed that she was busy building a nest in the big bush in our front yard. I quickly set up my camera on a tripod and stuck it out the window it see if I could get a better shot. I connected the remote and then waited. It didn&#8217;t take too long (twenty minutes?) before she was back and I managed to fire off a series of shots. This was one of the better ones &#8212; although it did need some post-processing help. <\/p>\n<p>After cropping it, adjusting the contrast and decreasing the luminousness of the yellows and greens, I had to take it into photoshop to add a bit of blur to the background. Since I wasn&#8217;t sure where exactly the dove would hover, I used a really small aperture so everything was in focus. <\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s still busy flying back and forth, building her precious nest, but I don&#8217;t dare get the camera out of the window again. I don&#8217;t want to spook her. If she builds her nest, there will be plenty more bird shot opportunities! <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/bleedingheart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/bleedingheart.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"bleedingheart\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/bleedingheart.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sienafallsmedia.com\/callandresponse\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/bleedingheart-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Response: Bleeding Hearts &#151; Cheryl<\/h6>\n<p>I&#8217;m not good at building things, because I&#8217;m not good at planning. Two years ago, I bought two bleeding heart plants and stuck them in the ground on the shady side of the front door. I love seeing them bloom, but I&#8217;d likely love them more if they were part of some cohesive landscape layout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Call: Building a Nest &mdash; Jessica This morning, as I was sitting at my computer checking e-mail and tweeting out the call for the day, I noticed a dove hovering in front of my window.
