Crazy About Birds

Mourning Dove

I was puzzled by this Mourning Dove's tail, initially. They usually look completely brown and only show the white tips when they fly off. Also it doesn't have the light blue eye ring. So I'm thinking maybe it's a juvenile. It was also pecking around in a rather careless/bold manner and not seeming to be bothered by the comings and goings of Blue Jays and other Mourning Doves.

Meanwhile, the wren pair worked hard on their new nest all day. There's now a nice little dome of a nest in a hanging plant right in front of the door. Except for the light being extremely difficult, it should be possible to get some good looks at the nestlings when they appear!
