Natural Views of Mourning Doves Visiting Watering Hole in Desert National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada

Welcome to the WeekendFrontier! Water is Life. Enjoy natural views of Mourning Doves visiting a watering hole that is fed by a rare natural spring and found in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada’s Mojave Desert. Mourning doves, sometimes called turtle doves, are abundant in the United States. It’s common to see two mourning doves cuddling with each other. Mourning doves mate for life and have good co-parenting skills as they work together to feed their young “pigeon milk” for the first few days of life.They can have five to six broods of babies in one season! This monogamous behavior is thought to contribute to the stability of mourning dove populations, estimated in the US at 350 million. In some states they are hunted game birds while in others they are protected songbirds. How do you like your mourning doves, in flight or feast?
