What is a "mourning dove"?
A mourning dove, scientifically known as Zenaida macroura, is a medium-sized bird found across North America. With its gentle and delicate appearance, it is a symbol of tranquility and grace. The mourning dove showcases a soft grayish-brown plumage, accented by dark spots on its wings. Its long, tapered tail feathers add to its elegant silhouette. Known for its mournful and soothing cooing calls, the mourning dove's melodic voice fills the air, creating a peaceful ambiance in woodlands, fields, and suburban areas. These birds are often seen perched on power lines or foraging on the ground, feeding on seeds, grains, and small fruits. They possess remarkable agility in flight, swiftly maneuvering through the air with their pointed wings.
