Sandhill Crane (2009)

By: Pat Coate

Below are some of the birds the kids saw at Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop’s, and in next week’s post I hope to share their favorite animals from the trip – ospreys and alligators.

Love is in the Air

Mourning Doves – Courtship Display (2010)

By: Pat Coate

I have been enjoying watching a pair of Mourning Doves that have been regulars at my feeder this spring. Earlier in the spring, two, sometimes three, would seem to chase each other through the neighbors’ trees.
