Two mourning ground zenaida macroura doves

Two ground doves sit puffed up on a bare tree limb. These doves tend to retain a pair bond and not form a flock during the year. They are ground feeders and their colors mix with the ground so they go unnoticed. They are found in farmlands and suburbia and woodlands in the winter.
