A few days ago we had a flock of mourning doves move in. One of them somehow got into one of the covered chicken runs and stayed there for a few days. It is out now, but the flock has stayed on. I used an online bird identification site to ID these birds so it is possible I am incorrect. Here is the picture of a mourning dove from the bird site.
Here is a picture I took from my office window this morning. I think my ID is spot on!
Here are more pictures taken this morning. I hope the flock hangs around for a while. They are beautiful sight from my office window.

So, I had to go read about mourning doves! This site even has an audio with their voice! http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Mourning_Dove/id
I did not know this either -> Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted species in North America.
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing!
