Sometimes Doves are funny... ;)

.......caught these two White winged doves being silly on the bird post.







...and here's more doves.



...think we have about 4 different kinds.

Great looking doves CK, the only doves I've noticed here are called Morning Doves (their 'cooing' call is distinctive)...but think some got their 'wires crossed'...cooing before dark! ha.

Nice photo's of the doves! I see you also have the non-native Ring-necked doves in your area.

TJE....that dove with the "spots" in the picture is a mourning/morning (?) dove....and yes they can be a little "ditzy".

old digger....we do have the Eurasian collard doves, they're really spreading...feel sorry for the natives.

Thanks everyone!

Eurasian invasion going on here and many other places. Check your state law on shooting em. Here, I think you can pop-off as many as you can hit. I did check out some cooking recipes on line on how to make a good meal out of em. I may just head down to Walmart today and get me a 1200 fps air rifle and start knocking them off here soon. I could fill my freezer by just hunting from the porch in the back yard.

I have seen the Ringed doves feeding along side the Turtledoves. I think the Turtledoves can fly faster than the Ringed doves.

Gee...those of us who live where the "alien" doves are...won't starve.....& guess like everything, they tastes like chicken?

I think more like chicken liver Yum! I'm sure they'd be better then flying carp
