I have what I call a bird subdivision in one tree in my back yard. I believe there are 7 bird houses in there now. I have another ready to be hung & 2 more that need a roof. I've started putting real shingles on the roofs as rain & snow eventually rot out a hook that is usually in the top for hanging.
I have a couple pictures in GB, I'll go back & rescue, but then I'll have to figure out how to post them.
ps... How do I follow someone if I want to make a remark about Chris's Dove?

Chris, your white Dove is so pretty. When I get Doves, they are always gray in color.

Hi Babe, I use Quote button. It's in each post, right top. We have several nests of gray doves.

My DH had a yellow cockatiel when we met. Of late she's plucking her feathers. Moved her to next to my light frame for spa therapy. First started with a soothing plumage spray, vitamin drops, quinoa for protein.
I so enjoy hearing her call for attention, talking and even singing to me.
Chris, how do you know when doves are talking to you?

Still have my tame white dove and added another a few years ago.
Chris, I just wanted to say your white dove is Beautiful. In the summer they sit on the electrical wires & often 'll see one all by it's self. I have learned that they mate for life & if they lose their mate, they are alone for ever after. PS.....Than you Rose.

Blue Birds, Blue Jays, and the Cardinals are having a festive time eating out of the bird feeders. Squirrels are grabbing the
sunflower seeds. It's time for our Hummingbirds to appear. We also have a few nuisance Red Tail Hawks circling for food.
At night we can hear the Owls "HOOTing". A few have caught some small cats. Today I heard several Red-Bellied woodpeckers
in the woods. Once I saw a huge Pileated Woodpecker which is not native to this area.
@ Chris - the Dove is beautiful. We have a large quantity of Mourning Doves in our area.

Sorry this didn't work.
I was trying to add a picture.
I guess I don't know how. Darn!

I can tell Spirit is "calling me" when I see her throat swell up and she makes this funny movement like a rooster. Ho Ho. Sadly, I can not hear her sweet sounds anymore. Thanks bluwahoo Thanks Babe Thanks Gold Chris

I checked both sites I'm active on on GB & there are no messages there. Where am I forgetting to check? If there are messages in here, where are they? I finally seen a Robin. I think it was shivering!

I saw a couple of rooster pheasants this morning by the MN/IA border. That is encouraging as the numbers have been down.
