Happy Spring Equinox: A Bird in Hand...Is Worth a Sketch!

A mourning dove was stuck in the landing of my apartment, unable to escape because it kept banging into the skylight that it thought was open. Before I was able to catch the poor bird and let it go in the open area, it was quietly sitting long enough for me to sketch. (I couldn't resist a live bird posing for me!) It was somehow appropriate that I found it on the first day of spring.
