Re: [cayugabirds-l] Mourning Doves

“My” orioles like my h-bird nectar feeder too (as well as all the oranges and 
dishes of grape jelly)!

One of them even flicked off one of the bee guards to make the sugar water 
easier to drink.
One also discovered he can put 1 foot on a little tiny hummingbird perch for 
better balance!

We were surprised at the comments about Mourning Doves fighting. We have lots 
of Mourning Doves and have never seen this behavior. Maybe because we have so 
many feeders? Year round we have 13 sunflower seed feeders and three suet 
feeders (each holding three cakes). Now we also have a hummingbird feeder (no 
hummers yet tho), a Baltimore Oriole feeder, and a grape jelly feeder. Some 
years we have four hummingbird feeders. The Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers like 
the hummingbird feeder too. Actually, the Oriole prefers it to the Oriole 
feeder.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning Doves

[Sara Jane Hymes]

We looked out into our yard this afternoon, and counted 45 Mourning Doves.  The 
MOST we have ever seen at one time!  We may have missed one/two as they blended 
in so well with the now bare of snow yard and leaves.

[cayugabirds-l] Mourning doves & rain

[Susan Fast]

I was looking out the kitchen window when I noticed large white blobs
appearing and disappearing in a couple of small trees in the yard.  Turned
out to be 6 MOURNING DOVES.  It's raining, temp. = 54 deg.  Each would
extend the wing on one side almost fully, turn slightly on a branch so that
the rain would hit the side of the body that was under the wing, and maybe
even the wing underside, and hold that pose for up to 10 seconds.  They
would alternate wings and body sides.  Once returned to a normal position,
they would sometimes preen under the wing just raised and lowered.  I wash
my armpits like that in the shower, but have never seen birds do so.
