Just wait! I’m bringing you a snack,
It’s really tasty corn,
If it’s not good I’ll take it back,
As sure as you were born.
Oh wait! Don’t run away so quick,
You’d think I want a date,
I like you, but it’s not a trick,
If you would only wait.

I think they like it here because we have a bit of everything – trees (big and small), shrubs, hedges, feeders, bird baths, and open spaces, too.

Thanks, John. I like them. Some people don’t like them cooing all the time but I like it. Sounds tropical to me.

I love all the birds in your garden, Anneli! We have a pair of mourning dove came and mated. I hope they have their babies by now. I saw another mourning dove today and heard the distant oo OO oo oo oo sound. A few weeks ago, A couple of Steller’s Jay picked twigs and wet mud, must be building their nest. ❤
