Mourning Dove

Description:

Heard a cooing outside my bedroom window early one morning. Spotted these two doves on a limb.

Habitat:

The mourning dove occupies a wide variety of open and semi-open habitats, such as urban areas, farms, prairie, grassland, and lightly wooded areas. It avoids swamps and thick forest. The species has adapted well to areas altered by humans. It commonly nests in trees in cities or near farmsteads.
