Mourning Dove Gallery

Coo-coo-cool
We were hiking the Rinconada Canyon Trail at Petroglyph National Monument amidst the many petroglyphs new and old when I spotted something else in the jumbled rocks: a mourning dove sitting on a thin nest of grasses. We hiked during the evening hours and heard doves calling from all around the park. Their calls brought back fond memories of growing up back east where the cooing of the doves serenaded us on many a night.
