Beautiful Mourning Doves


I have to be honest - I really thought mourning doves were kind of ugly and annoying when I first discovered birding here in the Rio Grande Valley. They seemed to be everywhere. I kept wishing that they would go away while I waited to see something really pretty, like the green jays. 

But, while they do have their own unique look, I have come to see them as beautiful creatures. I now love watching them, as I was able to do on this lovely day at Quinta Mazatlan.
