Mourning Dove - Wildhorse, AB For such a plain brown bird these little members of the pigeon family get tons of attention. It could be the soft mournful sound that they are named after, or the small cute frame of these generally shy birds. They are numerous throughout North America, but are slowly declining in the west. This bird was sitting pretty on a fence post just north of the Wildhorse, Alberta border crossing. Michael W Klotz 2019 - www.TheBirdBlogger.com
