A bit of a cloudy day today, but I was able to get another pic of a Mourning Dove sitting in the same tree as the one from the other day! They're preening! ^v^

The stillness and soft sounds of this #MourningDove was a little happiness for me amidst the ringing telephones of the red-winged blackbirds and the taunts of the terns overhead this morning. If you look closely at the nape of eir neck, there is a small patch of scaly feathers that look like gold leaf.
Honestly, why does any guide call any bird "plain"?

I noticed that I haven’t really posted MoDos in a while. They are as voracious as always and take so many photos that I overlook them at times, but it’s show-off season, and this one did not disappoint. 😆 Have a great Wednesday!

Mourning dove in the morning.
Here's a mourning dove (Zenaida macroura) that I happened to catch flying by some trees. snap them frequently on the ground, in a tree, or even making short flying hops in my backyard. But getting a photo like this is more difficult because they move pretty darn fast and their flights are usually relatively short, like one tree to another.

Similar in size and shape to #RockPigeon but there is something about a Bandtail that immediately stands out, even distant in silhouette, and I can't quite put my finger on what it is. Also around here are #EurasianCollaredDove and #MourningDove. I should try to consciously unpack the tacit ID cues that I use to tell these four apart in flight.

Dove in the morning.
I'm a little surprised at the yellow coloring on this mourning dove. Pleasantly surprised though, normally they are a drab brown. Well, most of the bird meets my expectations. Variation is the name of the game.
"When these birds grab seeds off the ground, they are not necessarily eating them. Instead, they are stockpiling for digesting later. The seeds collect in the “crop,” which is simply an enlarged part of their esophagus. Then they head to a secluded perch for digestion. Mourning doves often have a noticeably round breast, since it expands during feeding. Scientists once found a record-holding bird with 17,200 bluegrass seeds stuffed away in its crop." - birdsandblooms.com

Super cute Mom Mourning Dove in a nest in a wall planter by my front door a few years ago, she had 2 babies and we had to use the garage door entrance for awhile so as not to disturb the birds!

Insulated.
Here's a mourning dove all fluffed up against the cold. Did you know that many birds can sleep with half their brain while keeping the other half alert. I recently learned that myself.
"Generally, birds will sleep with their eyes closed. Many birds will also tuck their head under a wing or turn their head backwards and nestle the beak under their back feathers. But there are some exceptions. Some birds, like ducks, enter unihemispheric slow-wave sleep (USWS) and keep one eye open while they sleep.
This fantastic feat controls part of the brain and actually prevents the whole brain from going to sleep. Even more amazing is the bird can control how much of the brain is awake by how far it allows the eye to open, explains Audubon. This allows the bird to remain alert to dangers while the rest of the body grabs some sleep. Navigating birds also sleep with one eye open." - birdfact.com

I swear I didn't look at the collared dove Martha.
These two mourning doves have been hanging around for a while, usually in the same tree. I applied human body language to this scene in my head and it's pretty comical.

After the snowstorm last night,
we did not have any internet, but the sun was shining and everything looked beautiful. I pretty much put a coat over my OJs and put the photo cams out to capture some of that morning sun. The Grackles were shiny, and everybody else was happy to find food (#Bluebird, #Grackle, House #Finch, #mourningdove #birds #birdsofMastodon #birdsofnorthamerica #Ostdrossel #nature #photography
