Mourning Dove

Some people think mourning doves are noisy and annoying.  I think mourning doves are a real joy to have around.  Many years ago, I happened to have the opportunity to raise one by hand.  All it had was pinfeathers but it soon decided that family life was great.  Lots to eat, lots of attention and lots of things to keep occupied.  It did however, decide that it was time to get back to a natural life.  It returned the next year to raise a family of its own and we now have a large number of offspring at our feeders.
