Mourning Dove

Looking For His Lovey Dove

Good Evening STEEM friends. I hope you had a nice Monday! Every year a pair of Mourning Doves nest in my backyard. They are constantly seen hanging on my back deck together. Here is a picture of one of the fascinating birds peering over the railing, presumably looking for his lover. The Mourning Dove is generally monogamous and keep only one partner for their whole life. They migrate south in the winter and can fly at speeds of up to 55 miles per hour.

Weren't they related to the Passenger Pigeon?

I did not know that but I imagine that is correct, they have very similar characteristics

It must be very nice to have those cute little birds in your yard every year, lucky

Interesting Dove photos, backed by an appropriate background and composition ...

that's a beautiful dove. I wouldn't if he hangs in my window too sometimes. :)
