The Zen of Doves
It was a glorious day today: warm, sunny, and overflowing with birds. I watched the ducks and geese congregate in the wetlands - they seemed to be having a wonderful time splashing around, like kids in a wading pool. The deck visitors were more mellow, except for the starlings who squabbled like pundits on a talk show. The doves were more typical - soaking up the warmth and placidly watching the passing scene.

Your doves seem about the same as our doves here in Kansas City. We used to have starlings until we switched to safflower seed in the feeders. Now they don't come by except rarely. It's a bit more expensive, but all of the "good" birds seem to like it. (Also keep a finch feeder with niger seed in it and a hummingbird feeder in season.)

The doves are great, aren't they? Sitting and watching the birds is the greatest stress-reliever I've found.
