Dove

There is some type of dove in my tree in front of the house. We saw her making a nest about a week ago, and now she is settled in it and hasn't moved much all day. You can see her adorable face and little beady eyes from my dining room window. I'll try to get pictures of her.

Some type of dove? I hope you can get a good pic so we can try to figure it out.

Maybe a mourning dove? Lovely soft colors, dun and grey and rosy subtle colors, with dark eyes?

That might be it. Its brownish grey and beautiful dark eyes. I'll try and get pictures after school tommorow. It looks like this picture of a mourning dove-- http://www.tamstuart.com/Slide%20Sho...ve%202154s.jpg

There are several different kinds of doves. The most common wild doves around here are mourning doves, white winged doves, and ringneck doves.

I have a white winged dove named Flutters. You can see the white that lines the bottom of his wing.


Mourning doves are the most common doves around here. They're a little smaller than white winged doves and they have black spots on their backs.

Ringneck doves are a bigger dove and lighter in color. They also have a black half ring around the back of their necks.
