Mourning Dove

This sweet little guy was napping outside my window...
As I watched I noticed his tail looked a little funny... Could it be that...hey...yes... There are two! LOL!
They looked right at me! Do you think they heard the camera
shutter? Sorry birds! Go back to sleep!

    Lovely little story in pictures and words. They must have been cuddled up to keep warm.

    Doves are real snugglepots! Do yours walk about saying 'woo, woo'?

    What a fun surprise ~ a pair. I suppose they are thinking about where to build their nest come spring.

    there are a pair of mourning doves who come by every day but what is odd they always come at twilight - and just hang and hang....

    i love to watch them sitting on the fence for some reason the sight of them warms my heart

    love photos

    That's the best way to sleep, all cuddled up as one.

    Gawd we have doves very similar if not the same. I was looking after my sister's chickens a few weeks ago and noticed two had found their way into the pen through the cyclone wire. In an attempt to rescue one I caught it between my palms and promptly pulled out all it's tail feathers. Poor thing, recovering but flying a bit squiffy.
