Zenaida macroura
Ah, the mourning dove. Also known as the turtle dove, American mourning dove, rain dove, and formerly known as the Carolina pigeon and Carolina turtledove. Lot of names. Found these guys on a telephone wire while on a jog, I just wish my camera took better pictures because I saw them clear as day.
It is one of the most abundant and widespread of all North American birds.
