  • A Sunning Mourning Dove

    It finally stopped raining here and a dove decided to stretch its' wings
    and take in the sun in my back yard in South Carolina:

    I always thought was ironic that their call was so calm and peaceful but
    they seem to be the most nervous birds around as far as startling very
    easy. I just have to open the back door and they scurry off immediately
    and they're about 20 feet away at the bottom of the feeder, sometimes it startles me when I'm not paying attention.

    Very soothing call and cooing. But when they're startled and take off,
    their wings whistle. :)
