Zenaida Dove

The Zenaida Dove was common enough during Audubon's visit for him to shoot nineteen in an hour. It is now a very rare visitor from the West Indies. These were painted on April 30, the day Audubon left Indian Key for Key West. Lehman painted the pond-apple branch.

"... I have always been especially fond of doves."
