One morning this week we stopped at Big Woods to see the birds at the feeder. We were surpried to see so many Mourning Doves. I tried to count them but there was too many. It seemed like a Mourning Dove invasion.

I felt a little guilt as this mourning dove gave me this look. Under this snow there is a a lot of bird feed. There was a second dove just to the right, and as you can see in the background, a number of sparrows. The snow always makes food more work for them.

There is something very peaceful about a [Mourning Dove](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_dove). All the other birds were flying around us, but this dove just sat there so peacefully. Perhaps it is a meditating dove. I know I find I feel better when I take some time to clear my head and be more mindful. I’ll call this the lesson of the dove.

I caught these two mourning doves on a cold winter afternoon as they were relaxing on this branch. No, I don’t know how to tell the boys from the girls.
What you can’t see is the red-tailed hawk that is about 20 feet away from this spot. If I were a small bird, I would sure be nervous. They were relaxed, or at least seemed to be.
