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 slender birch branch. Its feathers are ruffled, suggesting a breeze. The dove's gray-brown plumage contrasts with the vivid blue sky. Nearby, birch leaves with their characteristic serrated edges add greenery to the scene. The sun illuminates the bird and leaves, enhancing their natural colors.
