Description


As well known and widely distributed as the Mourning dove is, it is not a conspicuous bird at all. It is quiet in voice, neutral in color, and so unobtrusive in deportment that it seems little more than a part of the background ... a quiet, pastoral bird. The Black-crested titmouse, on the other hand, is a bundle of nerves with constant jitters!!
