Mystery bird

Huddled on the landscaping cloth yesterday morning and this morning. It wasn't there during most of the day, so it's not hurt, just odd.





Might be a juvenile mourning dove, but its fluffiness is making it hard to tell. It's not scared of us...well, it's probably scared of us, but its instincts are probably to huddle down and pretend it's a rock, rather than to fly away.

The face really looks juvenile.

Yeah, I'm leaning that way. Good thing we haven't had neighborhood cats in the back yard in a while, as its survival instincts don't seem to have kicked in yet!

Doves are dinners. For something. For everything.
