Description
The Mourning Dove has a slender, streamlined body with a long, tapered tail. Its wings are pointed and enable swift and agile flight. The overall plumage of the dove is predominantly soft gray-brown, with a slightly lighter shade on the underside. The back displays some black spotting. It makes a soft cooing sound.
