The Mourning Dove is the most common and widespread native dove in North America, even more so than the Rock Dove (common city pigeon). I recently wrote a blog in which I picked my top 10 favourite birds, but the Mourning Dove was not among them. However, I have always felt an affinity for the Mourning Dove. There is something about its soft muted colouring and its slow mournful cooing. Also when it takes flight, its wings make a fluttering whistling noise and its voice is a slow mournful cooing: "cooowah, cooo, coo, coooo".
