Mourning dove

I love the sound they make and it is so funny watching them fly in and try to land.  Then watch them try to get on the bird feeder.  They seem to never have a plan.

I believe this is a juvenile.  He was on the ground one day, all day. Then he was gone.

This one had her nest in the Flowering Plum tree which was fine.  They build their nests in the strangest places.  I have had the male work so hard on a nest to just see it blow away.

This poor Dove looks like he was either losing his feathers or the Hawk caught him and he got away missing a few feathers....
