Mourning Dove in a Tree
Mourning Doves are plump birds that make such a delightful cooing sound, I had forgotten that people hunt them for food. I read on our state game commission site that doves are very popular as a game bird. They are plentiful and stay around all year.My photo of a dove with a blue jay was popular with readers last year. Normally they don't hang out together.
very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have always liked the sound of their coos.
ReplyDeletePeople still eat them? I did not realize that, either.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine eating one, I'll just look.
ReplyDeleteSweet photos of the dove. I love to hear them cooing. They are much better than an alarm clock :)
ReplyDeletebeautiful birds to see
ReplyDeleteThey are simple, yet pretty birds.
ReplyDeleteWow...don't think I have seen one of these. Well captured.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty…. I too love their cooing, so serene.
ReplyDeleteWe see those a lot here. I didn't know people eat them, though. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't eat one. Lovely shots of them in the branches!
ReplyDeleteI have read that too and really how many would it take to make a meal... enjoyed the photos of a sweet bird and the post with the jay and doves.. Michelle from Nature Notes...
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely shot !
ReplyDeleteGreetings
The doves are so sweet! Lovely capture, the lighting is perfect. Have a great evening!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one in person, but they look like gentle, sweet things. Lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteThey look very small. It must be difficult to eat.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of a mourning dove cooing their heart out.
ReplyDeletePretty!!! And having all that sunlight on the beautiful doves...what a plus.
