This female Emerald Dove drop by the Richmond port gave me some reprieve as I failed to get my lifer in the wee morning at the Gap. This is the best encounter in the open of this avianlicious bird with its glossy emerald green coat. I think it is a subadult as the feathers have yet to mature.
There were 3 immature OMR in different shades accompanying the former.
