TURTLE DOVE
(Streptopelia turtur)
I've just acquainted myself with images and descriptions of the Turtle Dove. A few other elegant-looking doves in the genus Streptopelia are also called 'Turtle Dove', such as the Asian Oriental Turtle Dove and the African Dusky Turtle Dove. The Turtle Dove is quite similar to the Mourning Doves (photo below) that inhabit my Canadian backyard in both summer and cold, snowy winters. I'm not familiar yet with the sound of Turtle Doves, but the cooing of Mourning Doves is one of my favourite, sweet and soft bird sounds.
