A somewhat nervous collared dove sits on a birch branch and the wind blows into its feathers

A collared dove (*Streptopelia decaocto*) perches on a bare birch branch against a clear blue sky. The bird displays light gray plumage with a characteristic black-ringed neck. Its feathers appear slightly ruffled, suggesting a breeze. The bird's stance is alert, with eyes focused forward. The slender branches curve gently, framing the dove's position and adding a subtle contrast to the vivid blue background.
