The mourning dove is a member of the dove family. The bird is also called the turtle dove or the American mourning dove or rain dove, and formerly was known as the Carolina pigeon or Carolina turtledove. - from Wikipedia

After three days of snow, these doves are very happy to be in the sky. I love their soft and beautiful eyes.
