鸟啭 （彩墨）
画两只斑鸠。这种斑鸠在乡下常见，很怕人，一看到人影，“噗”一声就飞远了。斑鸠的叫声很凄婉，是“咕咕咕…咕”，如同音乐简谱中的 4/4∣15 3 30 0∣，隔了几秒，又再∣15 3 30 0∣一番，听起来遥远而迷离，矇眬而凄清，说不出的味儿。
它们的巢，我曾爬高到树巅顶头发现过，几条小枯枝交叠成为一个浅小如碟盘一样、草草率率构筑的巢，上面产几颗白色的蛋，跟鸽蛋差不多。
斑鸠最大特征就在它们的脖子的背后有一条黑带，带上缀着白点，像珠玉一样，很好看。它们尾羽的末端是白色的，飞起来时尾羽张开如扇，亮丽耀眼，是很可爱的台湾野鸟。
Birds Chirping/ink and color painting
This is a painting of two turtle doves. This kind of turtle doves are commonly seen in the countryside. They are afraid of people and often take flight instantly when they detect people coming. The gu-gu-gu sound of turtle doves is especially mournful and has a musical sound that can be represented as 4/4∣15 3 30 0∣, followed by 4/4∣15 3 30 0∣ after a few seconds. Their sad sound is dreamy and distant, and evokes indescribable feelings.
I once found their nest after climbing up to the top of a tree. The nest was carelessly constructed with several overlapped small branches that formed into a shallow dish. There were several white eggs which were as big as pigeon eggs.
The biggest feature of turtle doves is the black stripe behind their neck. The black strip is decorated with bead-like white dots, which are very beautiful. The tip of their tail feathers is white, and the feathers open up like a fan when they are in flight. The coloring of turtle doves is very vivid and stunning, and they are one of the most attractive wild birds in Taiwan.＠
