Mom and Dad mourning doves in the "nursery"
Be very, very quiet.
Mom and Dad are keeping the babies warm in the "nursery."
Why are they called mourning doves? Because their song is sorrowful. The bird (Zenaidura macroura) is the most common dove found in North America. It is, in fact, a small pigeon. (Photo by Ken Collins)
