Great captures, Bong! I like the first one with the wings raised up.
And yes, it is a Mourning Dove.

I don't know how the bird got its name. It sure looks happy. Well done Bong. Mabuhay.

This dove sure looks happy and they make me happy everytime I see them in my yard. Their coo-oo-oo is what gave them their name. It's not really mournful for me though.

A Mourning indeed, a regular in my backyard. As long as the feeders are not empty, it's guaranteed they'll be around (except when our neighbor's cat is around, ggggrrrr).
It doesn't sound like mourning to me too, what were they thinking? Also of note, they make a whistling sound when flying.
Still nice captures Bong.

Nice color and great details. Haven't seen those doves live.
Are you allowed to shoot squirrels? He, he, he... kidding.
