Just as I was about to start the mower to cut the grass, a monarch butterfly landed on my shoulder and said hello. After finishing the mowing, I sat outside in the back yard reading a book and I heard this lovely bird call. Turned out to be a pair of mourning doves. I didn't know they did anything other than moan.

There are several mourning doves that come to eat at my bird feeders. I have nothing against those birds, but when they start cooing they are really annoying.

Yeah, that's why I was delighted that these weren't singing the "woe is me" blues.

@BarBaraPrz When they go on and on for hours, I look at them and scream "shut up".

@LadyDuck I like the sound of their wings when they take off.

I like the sound of the birds chirping in the morning right outside my window.
