Fine Feathered Friends – October 18th

The back yard grass has taken a real beating with the three years of drought and last year’s watering prohibitions.

But the mourning doves love it for a couple of reasons. First, it makes it easier to find the seed that gets thrown out every morning.

Second, the natural camoflouge works GREAT against the brown dirt and dead grass. On a nice lawn they stand out like a sore thumb.

Our current mourning dove flock is at about 15 to 20 most mornings. I’m assuming some of them are from the front porch nest earlier in the year, but they don’t wear name tags.

Still love those pink feet!
