You're hilarious, Prin. You and your song-challenged mourning doves.
I was wondering -- I don't know much about Canadian birds and migrations but...
We have 4 pair of mourning doves who make nests on our porches every year - so I'm really familiar with these guys... But we also have a mockingbird pair that has claimed our yard... And the male mockingbird will sometimes sit in our backyard and 'mock' the mourning doves.. and it really does sound like a "song-challenged" mourning dove. LOL No really.. the first 'hooo' sounds like he had been smoking a cigar before he started and then somebody smacked him in the back mid-note.... he smooths out the rest of it though. I keep telling him he has more work to do.
If you have these guys up there -- it's a possibility if you're hearing and not seeing the dove.
