Interesting Dove Behavior
This week I happened to look out my living room window and see three Mourning Doves on the ground where I put out bird feed. Nothing unusual about that. Looked out a few minutes later and they were still in the same positions After ten minutes they were still there, in the same pose. I watched for a couple more minutes and they didn't move a muscle, except that the dove in the bottom of this photo would tilt its head slightly to eyeball me when I came to the window. I figure there must have been an avian predator nearby...
