The wild pigeon is now too rare to be included among our 
bird neighbors ; but its beautiful relative, without the fatally gre- 
garious habit, still nests and sings a-coo-00-00 to its devoted mate 
in unfrequented corners of the farm or the borders of woodland. 
Delicately shaded fawn-colored and bluish plumage. Small heads, 
protruding breasts. Often seen on ground. Flight strong and 
rapid, owing to long wings. 
Mourning or Carolina Dove.
