but I wasn't sure if that was his beak or a part of the tree.

LOL! He was sitting on an 'X' of branches about 15 feet up the tree.

I'll see if I can get a better one in the next couple of days if I can talk hubby into leaving the camera home. :)

Here's another I took Monday. We have several pairs of Mourning Doves. Not particularly attractive to look at, but their soft *cooing* is rather relaxing.

Nice picture. The sun caught her feathers just right. I enjoy the Mourning Doves. They are entertaining. I have several of them. I have a couple that apparently don't know they are supposed to be ground feeders and will fly up to the feeder. One of them will sprawl herself out in the feeder and won't let the other birds eat until she's good and ready to leave. The other birds will just hang out and look confused and wait for her to get done.

A nice shot of Morning Dove! We have a lot around here. Sometimes the yard can have 20 or more. I put food out for them on the ground and there was a population explosion ;).

I love their couing too. I think they are funny the way they chase down their mates. They just run right after them.
