This is delightful. A fine composition of two very pleasing shapes creating a lovely rounded edge pulling us diagonally through the image. So inviting! Your name makes me smile and fills me with excitement. Any place with such a moniker is surely full of some of my favorite friends! And so you say! This adds a sparkle to my eye to go with my grin and turns me into a child with clapping hands...back rush memories of my own, of squirrels running around my legs, barber-pole fashion, up to the waiting peanuts in my hands! You lucky man to have two fun furballs to say hello to when you step out to take a stroll there! :) Birds, too, of course..how nice...we have Mourning doves (and the rare collared) instead of Crowned and now I must know what species! I found a list of birds that make their home in Finland which include doves and pigeons...which frequent your beloved Squirrel Forest en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_of_Finland#Pigeons_and_doves

Here is a trio I captured one day out on our deck...

After a further investigation I found it's called Common wood pigeon in English. Beautiful bird anyway, and nowadays more common in urban areas. It's old Finnish name was Toukomettinen.

Ohhh, and look what I found! A time lapse collage of a Common Wood Pigeon hatching! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_wood_pigeon#/media/File:WoodPigeonHatching.jpg

In regards to naming any animal "Common", I think it's pretty rude because the natural assumption is that it's nothing special. Nothing could be further from the truth! :)

Hah! Those Crowned doves live in New Guinea ;-)
And Sepelkyyhky, its old name was Toukomettinen.

Hieno kuva tästä metsästä - tässä sanotaan, että jos pensaissa ja puissa on tavallista enemmän marjoja, se tarkoittaa yleensä ankarampaa talvea. Eläimet voivat syödä enemmän marjoja pelastaakseen ne.

Jenny, that "common" belief of the berries and the forthcoming winter is just a common belief. The trees don't know how it will be after few months. They just follow their perennial periodicity. If it happens to be a rest period to berry carrying trees and a harsh winter at the same time, the animals starve.
