Heading South



The White-winged Doves will be starting to fly south soon and things will become more orderly at the bird feeders. Every time I see them hitting the feeders and scattering seed everywhere, or chasing all the other birds off I have to remind myself that they do some good by scattering the seeds from the Saguaro fruits. I guess they should be called the seed-scattering dove!
