2020 A to Z Challenge!
Z is for Zenaida Asiatica.
Also known as the White-winged Dove.
In order to utilize the "Z" I had to use
this bird's scientific name!
And oh! before I forget...thanks to everyone who visited and commented ever so nicely on my 2020 A to Z blog! Cheers and I hope you have a lovely and healthy year!
Also known as the White-winged Dove.
In order to utilize the "Z" I had to use
this bird's scientific name!
Originally a bird of desert thickets, the White-winged Dove has become a
common sight in cities and towns across the southern U.S. When perched,
this bird’s unspotted brown upperparts and neat white crescents along
the wing distinguish it from the ubiquitous Mourning Dove. In flight,
those subdued crescents become flashing white stripes worthy of the
bird’s common name. Take a closer look and you’ll see a remarkably
colorful face, with bright-orange eyes and blue “eye shadow.”
To learn more about this lovely bird
visit this website. You can also
hear their calls on that site. Enjoy!

In flight, that's a stunner.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting through the A to Z!
Mimi....congrats to you also! xoxoxo
DeleteSo lovely and so easy to distinguish from mourning doves. Good to remember. I've enjoyed your posts on some interesting winged marvels this month.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty how those white crescents show when they fly. I would have thought it was a mourning dove. Or, as my daughter used to call them, "day owls."
ReplyDeleteScientific names have their uses! A beautiful bird with which to end your flight.

Hi Kathe, thanks for your visit to my blog, much appreciated. We don't have that pigeon sort over here, but I love our wood pigeons, they are lovely. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteKathe,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing the A2Z Challenge. 👏 It was a busy April for us all, wasn't it? My uncle used to raise doves when I was a small kid. Actually, what he raised was carrier pigeons. I get those two mixed up all the time. They do look a lot alike. Are they related?
Now that the challenge is behind us, it's time to relax! 😉
What a lovely dove. My husband and I have a Ring-necked dove named Norton. He's almost 30 years old. He lives in an aviary my husband built for him. He knows his name, and "Eat your food," and a few other phrases. He prefers to live alone-we had 2 males to begin with and he murdered his friend-so he's been in solitary confinement ever since. We did try another bird once-nope. He's exteremly happy with his humans and a few mirrors. We have visited Cornell's Lab many times and walked the trails. Great place. Love your blog-I am a long-time bird lover.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that was a mourning dove. I have a lot to learn about birds. Mourning doves are common where I live in upstate New York. Alana ramblinwithm.blogspot.com
