I haven't seen any of these for quite awhile, so it was nice to see them return to our garden.

Zenaida auriculata (Eared dove / Tórtola torcaza)
The Eared Dove is a resident breeder throughout South America from Colombia to southern Argentina. It is a close relative of the North American Mourning Dove. The head has a grey crown, black line behind the eye, and the blue-black on the lower ear coverts. These black markings give the species its English and specific name.
Wikipedia
The Mourning Dove is found in all desert habitats throughout the year. The Inca Dove is most often found around human settlements throughout much of the Sonoran Desert region. The Common Ground-Dove is found throughout the year most often in dense brushy desert or in riparian areas.

A Eurasian species introduced to the Bahamas, which spread to Florida in the late 1970s. It was quickly established there, then spread westward in the 1990s, and it has now reached the Pacific coast. The population is anticipated to increase and spread northward into Canada. Its westward expansion follows a similar expansion from its original range in Asia all the way to the Atlantic coast of Europe. Breeding: nest is a flimsy construction of twigs placed in trees, particularly palm trees, but occasionally on man made structures; normally 2 white eggs, occasionally more; 3 to 6 broods a year from the same nest. Migration: not a migrant in the true sense, in that individuals are not known to return to breeding or wintering grounds. But individuals move great distances, thus enabling the species to quickly expand its range across North America.
A fairly recent arrival to North America, this large pale dove can now be found across the United States. It flaps on broad wings, and often soars briefly, with wings extended slightly above horizontal as it seemingly floats down to a landing. Polytypic. Length 12.5".
Found this one in my backyard. Polk County, Florida.

Borrego Springs, CA
White-winged Dove was a lifer for me. It was a pleasant surprise to see a pair of them showing up perching on a tree for mroe than 20 minutes right in the backyard of a house where my wife and I happened to be staying in Borrego Springs as one of our stops during this multi-day road trip to southern California.
Another posting of one of my favorite birds, the Mourning Dove. Their docile nature and their soft purring are so endearing. I'm always happy when I encounter them and am able to capture a few clean images.
Enjoy, and have a good week, everyone!

This dove comes to my balcony several times during the day and always lands in the same place.
HaPpY CrAzY Tuesday 😄
The WT Dove is the most widely distributed dove in the Americas, and the least distributed in the US as it occurs only in the very south of Texas, specifically the Rio Grand Valley. It occurs plentifully throughout most of Mexico, as well as Central and South America.
I found this bird at the National Butterfly Center, a couple miles from the border. The BC is a fine place to visit. Many Green Jays hang out here as well as Long-Billed Thrashers and other Rio Grand Valley Birds. And, yes lots of butterflies, but that's a whole other world to study.
This dovy is fluffy and ready for winter with her new feathers I have a least 10 on my feeder and the juncos returned this week winter is almost here have a great weekend! :)
Mourning Doves eat roughly 12 to 20 percent of their body weight per day, or 71 calories on average.
