 Family Columbidce : PIGEONS AND DOVES 



The wild pigeon is now too rare to be included among oui 

 bird neighbors ; but its beautiful relative, without the fatally gre- 

 garious habit, still nests and sings a-coo-oo-oo 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.
