Spring is in the air for this pair of mourning doves. Reno, Nevada
The mournful cooing of the Mourning Dove (Zenaida macroura) is one of our most familiar bird sounds. From southern Canada to central Mexico, this is one of our most common birds, often abundant in open country and along roadsides. European settlement of the continent, with its opening of the forest, probably helped this species to increase. It also helps itself, by breeding prolifically: in warm climates, Mourning Doves may raise up to six broods per year, more than any other native bird.
Their long, pointed wings are almost falcon-like in appearance, while their pointed tails are longer than those of any other doves. These “design features” enable the birds to fly fast. Mourning doves have been clocked at 55 mph! When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted species in North America.121
