“I think we consider too much the good luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt
My neighbor, knowing I’m a passionate birder, called me yesterday afternoon and simply said: “”Go out on your balcony and look to your left.”
I did. And below is what I saw. Aren’t they cute?
A pair of mourning doves. These birds get their name from the mourful wooing-cooing sound they make. They are this country’s most common dove.
It pays to let others know what you want in life, especially if it’s seeing birds. I would have missed this wonderful sight if not for my thoughtful neighbor.

So Stinkin Cute Capture:) The doves and quails are ga-ga in love in our hood lately – ha!
I was thinking of writing in the caption that I suspect these two would soon be making babies. Thanks for commenting Adventuress.
Just excellent, a great photograph and what a sight to see and capture!
Thanks Penny.
Adorable shot!
Thanks Cindy
Completely adorable, there’s nothing like an early morning exchange of body-heat. 😉
And yes, Pat, we should always make that which we want be known — how else would we expect to get it!
So true Alex. But it was a lesson that took me quite a while to learn
Can’t decide which I like more, the photo or the quote. Thanks!
