Four’s a crowd, in this case

I often see these mourning doves hanging out on our deck. I think most any other kind of bird would leave once they’re aware of my presence, but these guys never do.

My doves come right to the door as well, probably to taunt the cats!

Yes, they don't seem to mind people getting close to them. Wonder why they excluded the guy watching you. V

The smart one on the mat and closer to the house out of the wind.

Looks like you had quite a bit of snow there. Nice to see those doves hanging out.

A great shot of these doves. You still have snow, ours is all gone.

He might not be leaving, but he is keeping an eye on you.

Interesting! We've had as many as 23 at a time, but they are extremely skittish.
