Up until a few years ago I had never even seen a collared dove, much less killed one.
This spring we started seeing a pair around the house.
I keep hummingbird & finch feeders in the back yard and actually throw regular bird seed out in the street in front of the house to watch the birds when we are out in the garage instead of on the deck.
Anyway, we have grown quite fond of watching the pair of collared doves that have taken up residence close by.
I feel kinda sad that after this coming weekend we probably won't get to watch them anymore. :(
From a lifelong dove hunter that seems really strange to me.
I understand now why some people don't deer hunt around their house that have deer they watch on a regular basis.
Guess I am getting old & soft. :D
