Drama, passion, pathos, and chaos - Mourning doves have it all. A short documentary of the doves that come to my window and their behaviors and personalities. • Female mourning doves are mostly brown. Male mourning doves are distinguished from females by slightly more iridescence, pinkish tinge on breast, blue-grey head, and a slightly more blue eye-ring. Male mourning doves (and rock pigeons) will also persistently court females. (Besides the trio at 0:31, there was at least one other time in the video where I thought a dove might be starting to preen and show off.) • The juvenile doves are young-of-the-year birds that are a few months old. They can be identified by their plumage, including darker patterns on their face and white edges on their feathers. They can also be identified (in the video at 1:16) by the baby fluff on them and how awkward they are.
