Mourning Doves 1
My neighborhood has an abundant population of mourning doves. This
medium-sized bird is easily recognized by its tan-gray color, long
pointed tail, and distinctive 5-syllable call: ooo-OOO-ooo-ooo-ooo!
I think they're very cute.

Doves eat almost exclusively weed seeds.

Make yourself comfortable.

Doves are too shy to easily photograph.
