Mistaken identity

Every night for a week now I’ve heard a bird out front constantly chirping (all night long), but of course it’s too dark to see what it is, let alone photograph it. The other day I heard an unfamiliar bird out in the alley who I thought might be the noisemaker, but it was just this dove doing its mourning.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

Hope you find the culprit. Mourning doves are so sweet and passive. A lovely photo! V

Great capture of this mourning dove, Helen. Does it have a mate around. Ours travel in twos.

Nice POV. I like the feathers. I thought they were owls when I was little. V

She’s all puffed up. So nice with the new growth coming out. V

Great closeup - they're a pretty bird and I like the buds included beside it.
