Day 33 Mourning Dove in Mourning?
This is one of the mourning doves that frequent my feeder. I am not sure where his mate is this afternoon. I hope he is not truly mourning for her, as the neighbor’s cat was here earlier trying to do a little easy hunting. Pretty normal interaction between birds and cats. I love feeding the birds, but also realize that I am actually setting them up to be “sitting ducks”, so to speak. The big grey tiger stripped kitty doesn’t know that he is doing anything wrong. He is following his natural instinct. At least, the weather today is clear and sunny. It poured rain here yesterday and the poor birds never came out of their protection to even eat.
