As evening comes

A mourning dove rests

A goose family heads for the pond

Another dove arrives;
They wait for the night.

The goslings are teenagers!

High coo.

Ms M said...

Karin: Yes, teens already. Where does the time go??

Petrea: Too coo... ;)
Mourning doves are poetic, aren't they...their call reminds me of the sound of a wooden flute.

Hahaha, Petrea.

Love the muted blues, Ms.M. You are lucky to have mourning doves; ours just hoot. Loudly. A lot.

I love birds, although I don't know much about them. I am especially find of finches. We get a lot of them here.

Ms M said...

So, Dive, do you have "hooting doves" nesting outside your window?

I like watching finches, too, Margaret. At my office, we had some who built nests in the awning. We closed the blinds to just a crack so we could peek in and watch the chicks grow.
