When taking the dog out this morning at 5:40, well before sunrise, I came across a mourning dove on the ground below the bird feeders. It was just sitting there, not actively feeding. It flew off while I was shining the flashlight on it and saying "what the?" Perhaps it was disturbed at its roost and went to a familiar place that it typically goes in the morning? Whatever the reason, an unexpected sight. Rob Ballinger - Clinton
