I love this picture of the Mourning Dove pair. Can you see the heart shape in the photo? Mourning Doves are usually monogamous and both parents take care of their young. In warmer climates, one pair of Mourning Doves can have up to 5-6 broods a year with two squabs each. Their prolific breeding exceeds all other native species. Just what you would expect from a couple of love birds!
