Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the mourning dove – an amazing bird that finds its home in various corners of the world! This small yet elegant bird is easily recognizable due to its distinctive shape and graceful movements. Mourning doves are most often found in urban parks and forests, where they take shelter in dense foliage and tree crevices.

The mourning dove possesses an expressive appearance, with a round body and short tail. Its size reaches 25-30 cm in length, and its weight ranges from 200 to 250 grams. The birds show interest in a variety of foods and can often be seen on the ground, where they search for seeds and fruits. Notice their delicate movements and characteristic sounds that can create a unique atmosphere in nature.

These birds lead a sedentary lifestyle and easily adapt to new conditions. Mourning doves often form lifelong pairs, which makes their lives especially relevant for studying in the context of mating behavior. Their nests are typically built in secluded places, such as tree branches or even architectural features of buildings, reflecting their closeness to humans.

Active during the morning and evening hours, mourning doves allow us to observe them throughout the day. Seasonal changes also affect the behavior of these birds: in spring and summer, they breed actively, while in autumn, flocks may gather together in search of food. Use our collection to capture moments where the mourning dove interacts with the surrounding world: whether it's a pair dancing on a branch, feeding on the ground, or resting in the breeze.

Our gallery features numerous photographs of mourning doves in various natural conditions and across different seasons, reflecting their unique place in the ecosystem. These images are suitable for educational projects, nature publications, and many other purposes!
