White-wings Return

A cold and dank weekend in Tucson, with rain down here and what looks like a lot of fresh snow not too high above town in the Catalinas. But these two days have been redeemed by the return of White-winged Doves to our yard. Hurray! Yesterday, before the storms set in, there was much singing, that odd syncopated popping song standing out above the usual spring cacophony. Today’s birds were silent, but grateful, I like ot think, for the seed and suet they gobbled down to get them through this weather. Ravioli had to serve the same function for me; hope it works.
