Mourning Dove

The very common, but very graceful and pretty mourning dove. The first bird call I remember from childhood, have always loved their beautiful “mourning” call, cooOOoo-woo-woo-woooo, that is made by puffing up the throat without opening its bill; these calls are made for breeding and territorial displays.
