Mural with a dove of peace and a laurel branch in the colours of Ukraine by the artist Justus Becker. It was painted during the first days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and finished on February 28th.
... Once upon a time there was a dovely couple name Dave and Dora who doved to rendezvous daily at Chez Jules. They were very much in dove and enjoyed to dine al-fresco. It was all very tweet and romantic. The nest is history! The End. đ
We were visiting my sister-in-law for dinner when I noticed a constant line of birds waiting for their chance to dine at her bird feeder. This dove was the most elegant of the crowd. Hamilton-Niagara, Ontario, Canada

I haven't seen any of these for quite awhile, so it was nice to see them return to our garden.
White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica) are semi-tropical doves whose native range extends from the southwestern U.S. through Mexico and Central America, into parts of western South America, and to some Caribbean islands. They are also residents in Florida, where they were introduced. The majority of White-winged Doves are seasonally migratory. They overwinter in Mexico and Central America and come to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico in April to breed, departing again in September. Some will overwinter in their breeding range, especially in residential areas where food remains available. In the southern parts of their range, they are year-round residents. There are twelve subspecies of White-winged Doves. Western or Desert White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica mearnsii) and Eastern White-winged Doves (Zenaida asiatica asiatica) are the most numerous and widely distributed subspecies.
White-winged Doves feed on a variety of seeds, grain, and fruit that vary depending on their range and seasonal availability. They consume seeds and fruits of wild trees, grasses, and herbaceous plants, as well as those of ornamental cultivars. Domestic grain crops including sunflower, barley, sesame, sorghum, wheat, corn, and safflower are also an important food source in many parts of White-winged Doveâs range. To supplement their seed-based diet, White-winged Doves will also ingest shells of small snails and other gastropods, or bits of bone extracted from raptor pellets or mammal feces. The bones and shell are an important source of calcium for the doves, necessary for eggshell and crop milk production.
I found this one in my backyard in Polk County, Florida.
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.

Wikipedia: The zebra dove (Geopelia striata), also known as the barred ground dove, or barred dove, is a species of bird of the dove family, Columbidae, native to Southeast Asia. They are small birds with a long tail, predominantly brownish-grey in colour with black-and-white barring. The species is known for its pleasant, soft, staccato cooing calls. The native range of the species extends from Southern Thailand, Tenasserim, Peninsular Malaysia, and Singapore to the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Java. It may also be native to Borneo, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa, and the Philippine islands.

Doves in general arenât one of my favored birds mostly because they tend to be bullies at the backyard feeders. However, ground doves arenât common in the places I go to so I decided to document this one.

Zenaida auriculata (Eared dove / TĂłrtola 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.

I had to laugh as the doves usually stay on the ground but they were searching for water on this cold morning so I brewed some water and melted the bird bath and sang along with them......
