Nice to Meet You!

Two Mourning Doves at my feeder for the first time. They commenced to bickering, which I did not capture well, but this makes it look like an even match (except the one on the right is a bit more puffed up). :)
That's a male and female pair....what a lovely sight to see! A mourning dove in the morning! It's a fav.

Doves with personality. They are being displaced by non-native Eurasian doves here.

Neat capture! I have doves that visit all the time, but never on the feeder! Cool!

@cimes1 I can't tell the difference between them. Do you know the markings? I would guess the male on right, but only because he is a bit puffed up. :)

@rvwalker I've seen a Eurasian dove from a distance (thought it was a hawk because it was so big!). We have lots of mourning doves around here.

@dgrynn that was exactly my thought when I took it! :)

@kathysview This is the first day they have gone on the feeder (the cardinals, tits, and squirrels seem to stake claim usually). They ruled once they were on. I've always thought of them as ground feeders. They are so fun to watch as they blend in on the ground so well.

It looks as if the one of the right won the argument! Great capture!
