Dove White wing behavior

An easy way to explain the White Wing Dove's soft call is to ask, "Who cooks for you?" These birds, with their folksy calls, are well known to many residents of the more arid regions in southern North America. Nesting singly or in flocks, White Wing Doves are usually found in tree groves or scrubland characterized by mesquite trees and cacti. They eat cactus fruit, nectar, seeds, and grain. In fact, White Wing Doves are quite important ecologically, dispersing pollen for many plant species. Flocks of White Wing Doves can get very large, and at a good feeding ground, thousands of these birds may congregate. Normally, they are active mostly in early morning and late afternoon. During these times, they will fly from their roosts or nests to feeding areas. White Wing Doves are migratory, and spend the cooler months in southern Mexico or Central America, where they form mated pairs.
