MOURNING DOVE
Adapted to a variety of open habitats, these doves also raise a lot of youngsters—as many as six broods a year in warmer climates. So even though they ordinarily lay only two eggs per clutch, a pair can produce up to a dozen offspring every year. Estimates of their population range as low as 100 million and as high as 475 million. They started mating two weeks ago and every day 4 to6 and when a storm is coming it's swells to 16 at the ground feed that I put out. Very passive with all the others and some come up to my window if I over sleep. After they feed I observe them hunkering down close by in the dry oak leaves facing the morning sun to keep a little warmer.
