Mourning Dove Deciding

Mourning Dove Deciding

A Mourning Dove is having quite the time deciding what little piece of root it wants - Its the end of August so I don't know what it wants to do with it - nest building is a little late. The Doves have been attracted to this digging site around a deck I'm fixing for some reason I thought maybe the clay or loose dirt. Doves tend to have an indecisive look about them anyway. It likes the real long root, but its still connected so the quest continues until it slowly walks away with just the perfect little piece of root.

Video: Mourning Dove Song Coo Call Sounds - Amazing Close-Up

Mourning Dove Coo Call

Video: Mourning Dove Coo Call

Classic Mourning Dove Cooing call. This Mourning Dove sings its song from a power pole for awhile. If you listen carefully you will hear another distant Mourning Dove calling in between his calls - not sure if they are communicating. Although not particularly loud - the call carries for a long distance. The sound comes from the puffed up lungs and the Dove puts its whole body into the call. You will also hear at least half a dozen other birds calling at the same time - notably an Eastern Towhee that is always showing off and cramping the understated Dove's style!

Mourning Doves love simple white millet thrown on the ground. This one was particularly friendly and cleaned up on the seed after the rest of the flock took off in typical panicky fashion.

Mirror - Mirror : Mourning Dove versus Red Bellied Woodpecker

A Mourning Dove holds its ground against a female Red-Bellied Woodpecker by facing-off with it wherever she turns. The Dove puffs itself up to look bigger and scarier and stays puffed-up until the woodpecker leaves and then returns to normal. Doves can be tough - this is a rematch of:

So the Dove wins best out of 3 - how about best of 7? You can be sure the woodpecker will get a rematch.
