@grammyn They are doves Katy, atm there are all kinds of birds and doves looking for something to eat. We had a lot of rain and the olive grove is very green and the ground soft to look for worms. Some early wildflowers are appearing, and the birds eat them ;-)

@ludwigsdiana I thought so but wasn't sure because you have so many interesting birds that we never see here! Thanks Diana
