Birding

The Eurasian Ring-necked Doves are in my yard again. They're a large bird, the size of a typical Mourning Dove, and their call sounds very much like the Mourning Dove---coo-coo-coo. They usually appear early in the morning around my birdbath to drink water. My Mockingbird sometimes tries to scare them away, but the Doves are a much larger bird and apparently not scared off by all that wing-flapping and chattering.

I also have a male Oriole, his bright yellow and orange breast and head add a brilliant spot of color when he flies around, looking for nesting materials I believe.

I wish I could post a photo of them. I'll look for a free picture on the internet.
