Some people consider the mourning dove a mere upscale version of a pigeon, and I have to say they are not the most exciting birds to photograph. They always seem a few sticks short of a nest and are the last to depart when a predator arrives. Yet they are peaceable almost to a fault and get along with sparrows and squirrels, quietly feeding beak by jowl with them on the ground.
