Morning Call

As the mourning dove's lonely voice calls out, searching for a friend, so I call out to You.  In the morning I sing and listen for the familar sound of your voice.

A graceful, slender-tailed, small-headed dove that’s common across the continent. Mourning Doves perch on telephone wires and forage for seeds on the ground; their flight is fast and bullet straight. Their soft, drawn-out calls sound like laments. When taking off, their wings make a sharp whistling or whinnying. Mourning Doves are the most frequently hunted species in North America.
